We got to sleep in today, sort of. I had a rough night. The stent is bothering me somewhat. I have had headaches off and on since I woke up from the anesthesia. Tylenol helps some. I’m still on liquids today, but I can have puddings, Jello and ice cream. I’m supposed to be on a high protein diet today for tomorrow's PET scan, so I get Ensure High Protein instead of the steak I want.

People came by to pick things up. Pastor Steve blessed us by taking stuff that just needed to be taken and disposed of. We prayed in the driveway. Thanks, Steve.

There is still so much to do in order to get out of this house. I’m not much help right now. I did call all of the utilities today to close out our accounts.

We met with the Nurse Practitioner, Oncology Navigator and Nutritionist today. Nothing really new was learned. The Nutritionist wants me to eat at least 2000 calories per day to keep my weight up. No one has ever told me to do that before. As Bill Murray said in Caddie Shack, “I’ve got that going for me.”

Son-in-law Seth came by to help with moving things into storage. What a big help he was. We still have a lot to do, but we made a lot of progress today. More help is coming tomorrow.

Several cancer survivors have connected with me to share their stories of victory of this awful disease. It really is comforting to hear the success stories that are out there. I’m still processing all of this, but this much I am sure of: I never tire of people emailing their support, love and prayers.
