Home from hospital -details to follow after a long nap
Home from hospital but very tired. Promise will give you an update within the next day or two. Have doctor apointment today, Thursday, Monday and Tuesday. After that I should have all my apples in a row and know what next steps we will be taking.
I want to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers as they got me through some very rough patches. We're doing good - the leg is healing well but can't start chemo until leg is completely healed. Takes a little longer for clots in the arteries to heal than in the veins. At any rate we hope to be ready to start yet another fight!
