Good News!!!!

Talked with the key doctor yesterday at the clinic and she told me that she had just talked with a patient that she treated with the same type of cancer that Jim had and she has been cancer-free for two and a half years. Unbelievable!!!!!  I'm so excited!  Up to now, noone has even mentioned that they had ever treated Intravascular Lymphoma  before.  It is such a rare type of cancer that most people have said they've never met anyone with it.  So, I'm so happy.  More good news.....  The nurse at the clinic said she didn't see why we couldn't be going home in a couple of weeks.  Oh my God!!!  Home Home - Spokane.   I think I was in shock when I heard that.  I need to wrap my head around it.  I know it may seem weird that I would be unprepared but two weeks is just going to whip by and I need to pack up everything.  I think I'll be shipping a lot back to Spokane.  So, I need to get boxes and make a change of address and so forth.   I can't believe it.  We'll be hanging out with the pugs before ya know it.  My heart is very glad.  It just so happens that I called our housesitter yesterday too.  She said she found an apartment already and she wants to move into it.   She basically told us that she and her grandmother would juggle the time spent at our house.  I have to admit it freaked us out when we heard this.  We were trying to come up with an alternate plan but it's only going to be a couple of weeks right?   Her grandmother promised that they would make sure the pugs were taken care of.  The first day at the apartment went well.  No problems whatsoever.  Kinda boring actually.  Jim is so tired and all he wanted to do was watch fishing shows on TV which is more than he's wanted to do in a long while so I guess that's good.  I know he will be tired for a long time.  He's actually sleeping right now.  He needs to eat more.  It's really hard for him.  Like I said before, everything tastes like cardboard and he just doesn't have an appetite.  He needs to be eating pretty regularly before they will release him from here.  He's still got that dreadful diarea.  It's hard to believe.  He's been on that Immodium for four days now.  That chemotherapy just did a number on him.  But the diarea can cause one to get dehydrated.  So, we have to go to the clinic today and get hydration through an IV.  The insurance just approved home IV so tomorrow I will be trained on how to do that.  The hydration will be delivered to our apartment this afternoon.   I'm hanging out at the local coffee shop while Jim sleeps.  He has his cell phone.  He can call me if he needs me.  I'm only a block away.  We don't have internet at the apartment.  Anyway, I better go...gotta get hydrated.
