My cell phone rang really early this morning, jolting me out of a sound sleep. It was Spod. He sounded fantastic! His voice was strong and clear and just like normal. Holy Cow!! I said. What the heck is going on? He immediately told me that I didn't have to worry anymore, I could relax, he was feeling great. He had had a fantastic sleep and he even was wanting bacon and eggs for breakfast!! I asked him what happened overnight to cause this amazing transformation and he swears it was clearing out that blockage in his nethers!! He told me to just concentrate on Monte…and that he was just fine. It was just so odd!
I got up and got some things done. Sort of. Emily and Austin were here so we had coffee out on the deck and had some good discussion. They set off for a day of shopping. I put together left over sushi and headed off down town to Monte's hospital. He came out and met me and he had a snack. But when we went back into the locked up area we had a meeting with his doctor's assistant and the nurse. They have set him up with a whole new whack of medication. He decided to come home today. So he dropped me off at Spod's hospital and went on home for a shower.
Spod wasn't feeling quite so spunky by this time. I tracked down the nurse and she told me that the fluid test definitively confirmed intra abdominal cancer of some sort. They just don't know where it is coming from. At this time they suspect the pancreas. Jeez! So next week he will be having more tests to try to find it. When they do they will biopsy. But now that I have said that it will probably all change and be different!
On our way home we stopped at Costco for dog food and discovered that the last book in a Ken Follett trilogy is on the shelves…so we bought it. When we got home I unloaded the car, did a few things and while Monte napped (his new pills make him sleepy), I ran back to the hospital to give Spod his book. Monte phoned, in distress, saying he needed to go back to the hospital. Changing meds can play havoc on the brain. So I dashed home and picked him up and drove him downtown to the other hospital. Its the same one that Spod will go to if he ever gets diagnosed. Sigh.
So here I am tonight, my head bobbing up and down…so tired. Good news though, Kevin and family are coming down tomorrow to stay til Friday!!!!!! So happy!! Poor Parker is going to be ecstatic!! I can't wait to see them again! So nothing will happen tomorrow it being Sunday, but I will make a little report tomorrow night. And we want to thank all you people out there for your incredible support and encouragement. I pass all of it along to him in the hospital and it just makes him feel special. He kind of glows! So thank you. TTYL
He IS special. And you are Super Woman.
