Thanks Rob and Mignon for a lovely dinner last night. It was good therapy, but we were both rather tired today.
Each day sees Rick moving a little easier, though he can only keep going for about 10 minutes, especially since it's so hot at the moment. And' that's all within the prescribed time frame we were given, so he's doing well. We have both been sleeping each afternoon in order to try catching up on the last few weeks.
He helps with the dishes then needs to rest, is still sore when coughing (which he has to do regularly), has some pain in his leg where the vein was taken from, needs a cushion to pad the seat belt in the car and is now on the hormone therapy.
Rick is unable to drive for 6 weeks; there are legal issues within 4 weeks, when there is no insurance cover in the event of an accident.
The programme for the next few weeks includes a checkup with the cardiologist in 6 weeks, the GP in 2 weeks, hormone implant in 2 weeks, dentist in 2 weeks (chipped tooth), CT scan in 2-3 weeks, radiotherapist in 2 weeks.....I think that's enough of a list for the moment, I think you get the idea...I am having trouble getting my head around all these appointments.
We just want to get home to our own bed and to some brief sense of normality before embarking on our next journey, which will see us travel up and down the Coorong road many times.
