I never thought I'd pray...

for Larry to have a bowel movement, but I found myself doing just that yesterday on more than one occasion. The MOM worked last evening without setting off a brigade of battles with diarrhea. YAY!!! So, it seems we have moved from Immodium 2 times per day to 2 Tbls. of MOM as needed. (Doesn't take much for some people, eh?)

Went out long enough last night to pick up his meds at VBH's Pharmacy.

He is still sleeping this morning. But, like most who know me as the morning person I'm NOT, he knows I need coffee, cigs, and at least one hour to convert into my human form. To do otherwise....well, let's just suffice it to say it's not a pretty picture.

Larry awoke around 9:30ish this morning. Perhaps the Immodium 2 times per day isn't quite out of the picture yet, afterall. LOL I know, I know....TMI! But, honestly, this is a good thing. At least the cancer has not totally blocked his rectum. That's good news! He had two boiled eggs for breakfast, coffee w/hazelnut creamer, and a small ice water. Plus his usual dialysis day cocktail of pills.

Anyway, today is dialysis day for him, so I have to get in gear. Below are pictures of some of Larry's favorite techs.
