Update...

01:41AM -- Hello everyone! Sorry I've neglected posting here. Things are pretty much the same. Except for the weather. Whew! It's been muggy and hot again! Suppose to hit the mid 90s today. After Monday, however, we'll be down in the 60s and 70s for daytime highs.

Larry is doing okay. He's weaker, but still manages to play mah-jong for a few hours every day. He only went to dialysis on Thursday this past week. He decided not to go on Saturday because he wanted his "long weekend". I'm taking that to mean he will go to dialysis on Tuesday. His ending B/P was 157/70 this past Thursday; and, his ending target weight was 89.7 kilos. He still tends to sleep a lot and his appetite is still down. He generally takes a nausea med every morning now. His pain seems to be lessening. Larry hasn't taken a lot of the Dilaudid lately. He took 4ml last night, but had not had any all day long yesterday.

The hospice nurse (Alice) didn't come by last week. Larry didn't want to be bothered since nothing much has changed. Our understanding now is that his other nurse, Missy, will be back around the end of this month. Yay! We'll be glad to see her again! *big smiles* We like Alice, but I guess because Missy has been with us since the beginning of all this that we've become "attached" to her. She's such a sweetheart and Larry and I both miss seeing her.

I guess this is pretty much it. I'm headed off to bed. More later!

SPECIAL NOTE: My computer went on the fritz a couple of weeks ago and I lost a lot of email addresses - Missy, yours was one of those - so, please...everyone, send me an email so that I can add all of you back in! THANKS!
