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.

This is really great news. Home in less than 2 weeks. Keep up the hard work of getting better.
Hey Will!
I'm glad to hear you're out of there and on your way back home to Olathe. Thanks to Kaye, Christy, and Will for keeping us updated while you were in ICU. My docs told me to walk as much as possible but to give myself permission to rest or take a nap when I feel like it. I still follow their advice, 11 years after my treatment for EC. Some call me lazy, some call me easy going. I just say, listen, I'm lucky to be alive and I'm taking a nap now.
Un abrazo,
Chuck
