3 PM Friday, August 19, 2011

Wow, I just realized it's been 8 days since I last posted......all is still going well and Ed has been home and infection free now for the longest period since February!  He's been working some at the shop and puttering around with his toys a little, but I'm going to have to come up with a serious "honey do" list pretty quickly to fill in the gaps!   He tires easily still but he's really looking so much better and is happy to be losing that "chemotherapy" look.  He's got good color, his whiskers are coming back and his eyes are not so hollow.  Getting all those chemicals out of his system has been a long process and he's getting better each day that he doesn't over exert himself. 

We are still planning to go to the lake house for Labor Day, but Ed's been so anxious to see that beautiful scenery (bucolic bison and bursting bikinis - not necessarily in that order) that he decided to go up this weekend.   He just left a couple of hours ago with his friend Tom to meet Ryan and some other friends up there.  He's got plenty of sunscreen, sun protective clothing, a hat and strict instructions from me, which I'm sure he is gleefully shredding into little teeny bits of confetti that are going out the car window on the 101 as we speak!  He is so anxious to get back to "normal" living......whatever in the heck THAT is......and he deserves to kick up his heels just a little.  It would probably make me crazy and I'd hover too much, so I'm staying home for some rest, retail therapy and romping with my grandkids.   It's a real leap of faith for me to leave him in charge of himself, but I gave him "the look" along with his list of do's and don'ts so I'm sure he'll be fine.   That being said, how 'bout them Dodgers????

Be well, have a great weekend and TGIF

Love,
Liz
