Well, here I am again. We arrived home from Texas about 2 weeks ago but I have not felt like I have had the energy to sit down and make an entry until today. I guess I am on schedule. Dr. Smalley asked me if I felf worse today than I did yesterday. After careful considereation I said I don't feel worse today than I did yesterday. He said good if your not feeling worse you are getting better and so that is what I would say to you... I am getting better but it is damned hard to see.
This is now Tueday. I tried to post this yesterday but it wouldnt post and I got fed up and quit. I must be feeling better because I dont feel worse than I felt yesterday. In fact today I feel pretty good. I walked all the way to the mail box and and we over to the Smith's for a short vistit---wow we are getting to be social gad flys.
I will be taking this time to try to thank everyone for theire cards and letters and the incredibel support ---I hope your thoughtfulness has changed me to be a little more conscioncious about staying in contact and to keep encouraging people who are going trouh difficult times.
It truly is amazing---this last Sunday I didn't think I would ever feel good again---my poor body was so beat up all it could do was lay around and sleep. I am a long way from well but I am sure as hell getting better and that is something I can really look forward too.
And so it goes....

From Kaye, Sunday, Feb 15th:
We arrive home Friday afternoon after a two day trip from Houston. It seemed like we have been gone for months! We both were tired from the trip and Will is still pretty wiped out. That is why I am updating his blog. Hopefully, he will feel like updating you in a day or two.
Thanks for all your concern and encouragement.

Tusday Feb 3rd 2009
Kaye has been after me to update the blog. It is hard to do when memory fades quicker than fireworks on the 4th of July. If I repete myself remember it is still pretty accurate---lets face it my lfe has been pretty much routine---lots of pain, fear, and boredom. As Kaye said WE ARE FINALLY OUT OF THE HOSPITAL. I am still hung with tubes.:drainage tubes and feeding. tubes. The doctor has been allowing me to drink some apple jucie, water and coffee. The last thing I had by mouth was December 28th. One tends to day dream about how good the coffee juice or tea will taste. NOT! It seems like my taste buds have become supper critics---what in hell are you putting that stuff in here.
Of course I can not eat any food or take any medication down the throat so Kaye has to crush the pills and then mix it with water and then we mix up this stuff that looks like grits and it pumps though a tube that by passes my stomach and goes directly in to my small intestine. This may go on for weeks or months depending on how the stomach heals.
BUT LEST I FORGET IT---DURING SURGERY THEY TESTED THE SITE AND 12 LYMP NODES AND COULD FIND NO CANCER.
We plan on returning to Olathe around the 16-18 of Feb. Keep those prayers and positive thoughts coming---you, of course are in mine daily.
