Sheer Hell

Bobby had to go back to the hospital because of an infection
and had another surgery all within three days. He is having
to wear an ostomy bag for three months, have chemo and then
another operation to reverse it. Ellie is very fragile and
Pat and I have alternated nights at the hospital. He is coming home tomorrow and will have home health care for a
while. He is enough better that I got to sleep in my own
bed last night and will tonight. I didn't mind because I
was more relaxed being with him so I could hear him breathe.
We almost lost him Tuesday night. It is stage 3 cancer. Four
of the sixteen lymph nodes that the doctor took were cancerous.

Ted and Rex were awfully glad to see me yesterday morning. I
am anxious to catch up on blogs. I managed to stay abreast
of the housework but not the shopping. Rex is almost out of
food.

Jeri, so glad Bobby is doing better and will soon be home again. Stage 3 cancer is still treatable. I will be praying hard for all of you.

Thank you, Joan. I can hardly stand to see his suffering.

my brother in law had cancer of the lymph nodes, went through chemo and all that. he is cancer free now for years. I don't know all the details because our family is weird. they don't discuss things. continued healing for bobby.

Thank you Mary. The ostomy bag is horrible and I hope my daughter in law
will gain some coping skills. I am so glad to be 3 blocks away.

Not much to add that hasn't already been said. Thinking of you.

I am very sad most of the time.

What a trying time you are having. When you see Bobby, tell him your friends on the blog are rooting for him. He should do better at home -- hospitals are an alien place to be.

I will. It is my nature to be optimistic and unfortunately it is not his.

Take it one day at a time, Jeri. My care and hope embrace you.

This is what I am trying to do. Just one day at a time and we can be
thankful that he has good insurance, a disability policy and a healthy
wife and children.

So glad you are back at home, getting a breath before the next challenge just around the corner. I sure hope that things settle down for you soon.
comment by troutbend on Jan 22, 2012 4:58 PM ()
Me too. There is a lot to be thankful for. If we were still living at the
farm, it would be dreadful.

How awful! I feel so badly for you, Ted, Bobby and his family. You must really be stressed out. Believe me when I say my heart goes out to you.

You know what I am going through. I always look at the worst case
scenario but then I bounce back.

comment by fredo on Jan 22, 2012 4:05 PM ()
I am taking care of myself Fredo. We have lots of things to be grateful
for. I have all of you being concerned for me.
reply by elderjane on Jan 24, 2012 5:50 AM ()
You poor thing... I'm so sorry this is such a trying time for you!
