I've asked Lisa to take it easy tonight and stay off her cell and the computer to keep her from hurting herself. She had a bit of active bleeding today from her attempt to make the bed. It was quickly controlled, but why chance it? She may sneak back here, and that's on her, but I've asked her to... Sign in to see full entry.
Good morning. Other than some minor discomfort, my wife managed to sleep through the night, and I am thankful for that. We have no big plans other than our morning walk down the street and back. Exercise is part of our daily thing, and the doctor said 'exercise as tolerated.' Lisa will be limiting... Sign in to see full entry.

Surgery is Over
I just got my wife home and put her to bed. She had a very small spot of vaginal cancer at the introitus (the opening) of her vagina.

A Note of Explanation
Just to give you some background on what is happening with both of us as far as cancer goes. In 1973, a grainery, a mill that takes corn, oats, wheat, and such and makes it into food for cattle, pigs, and other farm creatures, accidentally mixed a very toxic fire-retardant into a massive mix of...

Updates
As I saw she posted, Lisa discovered she may have a medical problem. I took her to one of the local clinics here where a quick exam led to the possibility of vaginal cancer. Without getting into the specifics, but for general knowledge of the group, she found a rough patch in the introitus of her... Sign in to see full entry.

Today didn't go bad, but it didn't necessarily go good either. It would never occur to me to 'just drop in to visit' anyone without asking if they had plans. Especially if you had just driven 1400 miles to do so. Some mutual friends of ours dropped in late this afternoon, and we just got them off to... Sign in to see full entry.
I've probably thrown my sleeping pattern right out the window for the next ten days, but I finally feel human again. I spoke with both the mom and the daughter of the dorm room situation late yesterday afternoon, and I think they both have a better grip on life now. An attack like that can stay with...
