Today marks two weeks since Jane came home from
the hospital, and almost 3 weeks since her surgery. Progress has been slow and
steady. Though Jane won't be able to sit for about 6 weeks, she is able to
putter about the house and recline with her books, podcasts, and small
projects. She now has all her incision drains out and the stitches in the inner
thighs removed. With this new freedom she is able to move around a bit more
every day. At this point she's averaging a mile a day of walking - and by next
week perhaps 2 miles/day! Walking is the only PT doctors will allow at this
point, and spring arrived in Massachusetts just in time!
This week we have been trying to decide which is the best option for Jane's
(phase 3) chemo treatments moving forward. We will go to Beth Israel on
Thursday to get a second opinion and will make a decision soon. The doctors
want to start chemo as soon as Jane is sufficiently healed, perhaps as early as
early May.
Jane has enjoyed many visits from friends and family and is slowly
transitioning back to a more regular (less boring) diet. THANK YOU, thank you
everyone who has visited, sent cards, flowers, good wishes, meals and
encouragement! Your support makes this ordeal so much easier to manage!
