Yes We are doing Good my husband and I. Healthy and grateful for it currently! Yes a lot certainly went on this past year but I also feel like you grow through trials and learn much if your paying attention :).
Mothers day is coming up and I was thinking of asking Him if he wanted to go to one of his moms favorite restraunts for lunch since he is working from home that is if they are reopened by then. If not maybe take out And share with my mom picnic style. - I’m really thinking about my dad his leg is so swollen. He is hoping the keytruda helps lessen the swelling one of the docs said it may help. It looks painful so swollen ☹️I saw him today. We are looking into compression socks and he elevates them he try’s to walk around the house some but it hurts..I wish i could make it all go away! Its hard to watch him go through this for anyone for that matter for mom too she feels helpless and its hard cause shes itching to get out and dad doesn't feel like doing anything. Im taking her to get her hair done next week salon is open! Ill be in car waiting cause its one client at a time 😉 and Ill take her to get some flowers for home.. n eat lunch maybe in car...
Dad sleeps a lot maybe its because he is on fentynal patch and has low dose oxy if needed. So he must really be in pain i guess.
But he presses on. Im Glad for that! And thankful for you all and the advice given! I pass on every bit! ❤️

Ok dad went back in hospital today. He had thrown up and had bad chills and a fever. And Tested negative for covid! They initially thought he had a urinary infection and pneumonia. Now they they they are not sure about that but have him on an antibiotic? Then- they found a blood clot in the swelled leg! I guess the other doctors missed it? He had Two previous scans? They told my dad maybe just a blocked lymph node use some compression for swelling-but never addressed it farther. His pain was bad in his leg & swelling to the point he was using a cane.. so hes on heprin right now. Admitted. Mom cant be there because of all the covid.. so shes at home:( -but I think i need to see if my dad will let me have permission to talk to docs on his behalf. I just feel like he is NOT getting answers he trusts what the docs say and then we have always found something more later or different- i dont understand. And i dont understand how they dont know if he has pneumonia or urine issue.
And noNe of the doctors are working together or for him. Im utterly frustrated. 🙁
Reading on heprin it doesnt get rid of clot? Just thins blood.? What will happen with clot? Will his swelling go away?
