Tuesday, June 23rd

I hope everyone had a Happy Father's Day Sunday. BJ barbecued some sausage that Anna bought from Joppa Saturday and it was delish! Burt sold his Mustang convertible so he went out and bought himself a gas grill, he says it takes too long to barbecue now with the charcoal. We had a nice weekend with family and friends.

Yesterday it was back to the hospital out patient surgery to get the chemo port put in. It's just like his pacemaker, under the skin. He has been sleeping much better lately but last night was tough cause he can't sleep on that side for two days. I had to wake him up a couple times to get him to turn over, the port is in the upper right chest and he usually sleeps on his right side. He's getting tired of all the needle pricks and IV's and the waiting, waiting, waiting that comes with hospitals and doctors visits. It's a part of our lives now, no getting around it.

They weighed him at the hospital. In his birthday suit he weighs all of 132 pounds. He's never been that thin in the 27 years we've been married. (Well, you can't blame it on my cooking skills...)

Today it was back to the MRI place to get a CT scan of the chest and abdomen to see if the cancer has spread. More IV's and yucky stuff to drink. After it was over, we went home to let the dog out and then over to the Tap Room for lunch. That was nice! Now he's beat and is sleeping on the couch with the dog....
