Good morning Bob- I'm sorry to hear that Liz is pretty much bedridden. I was hoping that her lung treatment had started. She is probably very tired from her meds-all put together they pretty much pack a powerful punch. Which she needs at this point. Are you staying home now or do you have someone taking care of her before your daughter arrives?

I know that you have recently attained power of attorney for health care. Do you have other legal papers settled? I know that this is a nosy question, but I want to make sure that everything runs smoothly for both of you.

I hope that you are well and taking a break every now and then. I realize that this is an awful time for you, but if you need to walk away for 15 minutes if you need it and if you can.

You are in my thoughts. You are not alone, Bob. All of us on Connect are here for your support.

Merry, our best friend's mom is staying with us until our daughter arrives in June. Linda has been through extended illness and end of life care with several of her family members over the years. She is a real blessing that allows me to do the things away from home that need to get done without worrying if Liz needs something while I am away.

We are still waiting for the Radiologist to set a treatment start date and I will be asking tomorrow what the hold up is now. It will be a week since the planning CT and we should be getting some word by now.....

The Power of Attorney has been accepted by everyone that we have provided it to, so I think the legal stuff is covered.

Thanks for caring!!!!
