Day #13 Friday January 8,2010 Happy 75th Birthday Elvis-- THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Elvis was the King know doubt. And yet, he only won 1 Grammy. Wow.....
Well, I slept through the night last night. No problems sleeping at all. My biggest problem now is speech.I seem to only be able to talk to Kari in just a few short sentences if that. My mouth is just too painful. If I talk soft and slow I have a better chance of speaking with her. I am good for about 1 - 20 minute chat per day. After that it's a crap shoot as to how much I can talk. I must push the envelope though, I need the exercise for my throat muscles.
RT was fine today. They took me within 2 minutes of us arriving at OHSU. My appointments are for 11am. At 11:35am , we were in our car headed down the hill towards home. Kari had to get home a prepare mentally for her surgery today. She is having that carpal tunnel surgery on her left hand today. Her friend Lise came and picked her up and brought her to the hospital. They just called and of course the Dr. is running late. She will get in a 3:30.. The operation will take 45 minutes and after a while in recovery, she will head home. I don't like being without my punkin. It really hurts that with all she has done for me, I can't be there for her today but, it would not have made sense. I have to eat too much from the tube. I had the jumps on the table today. I forgot to take one of my meds and my legs had the jumps. Funny how the techs noticed it. I can't let that happen again. I am home and my mouth is so dry, lord... I have been able to drink a little water lately so, I will go now and ty to have some. Chat tomorrow. but wait if almost forgot DAY #13 13 Down and 22 To Go.
