Joan is home after 10 days at St John's hospital. Even though she was pumped full of potassium she has severe oedema in her feet and legs. The oncologist told her that she would be better off at home rather than languishing in a hospital bed.
One small benefit from all this is that she now is taking no medications for her cholesterol and blood pressure. So there. if you don't eat you don't have high cholesterol problems...simple. Joan now has low blood pressure so no need for that medication.
She has regained some of her appetite and is eating small, regular meals. Still very weak and tired though.
We are scheduled to meet with The Man in another ten days and listen to what ideas he has for Joan's treatment. Surgery, radiation, different chemo or a combo of the lot.
The hospital admin is nice and they are going to post the bill. Don't want a heart attack right there in the oncology ward.

I am so glad to read that Joan is home and is able to eat some. I believe everyone is more comfortable in their own home. Keeping her in my heart and prayers. (and I am happy to say I am home as well, no place like home)....:-)Hugs
