For those of you on pins and needles waiting for a 'Paul update' here it is. He is fine, as we all knew he would be. The doctor, who is very closed lipped, said Paul went through with flying colors and the dr. got the lymph nodes in the area.
Paul made me laugh as he was coming back around to reality. I have never seen him so 'intoxicated' because he doesn't drink. He repeated questions, had the funny voice and kind of swayed when standing up to finish dressing. It was funny and safe. The only 'bad' thing was reminding him to take deep breaths to get his oxygen level back up.
He slept all the way home as I knew he would (1 hour) and was funny groogy the rest of the night. He conceded to taking a half a pain pill and spent the night waking us both up. He would ask if he was keeping me up, I would say no and snuggle in closer to him. I love my husband!
Here's what you're in for...
This is a chronicle of my experiences, observations, and feelings as I experience treatment for Merkel Cell Carcinoma (MCC). The goal is to give anyone going through chemotherapy and radiation for MCC (or any other cancer for that matter) an idea of what to expect. Of course I'm a unique individual just like everyone else, so what happens to me may or may not happen to you. Your mileage may vary.
I'm a pretty reserved guy, so most of these posts will be straightforward, just-the-facts-ma'am entries. I may occasionally get maudlin, but cut me some slack -- I could die from this.
There's nothing more heartwarming than a husband and wife who love each other! With love you can weather any storm, because you are not alone. Praying for you both. God's peace, Dara Burke (Hale Aloha 'family')
