On our way!

Well we are all packed and ready to go !!! We have to wait for the final discharge by the doc which should be at 10am. Then home and wait for the radiation to start. No date has been set yet. Yesterday was a good, bit busy day for Di. She was being checked by docs etc. We had a visit from the cancer people and given a nice bag with a host of instructions and a book of what to eat but told the lady that Di did eat healthy and still got cancer. Anyhow I am happy as we will be in the mode of a vegetarian diet with more veggies and fruit. Red meat is out!!! Sister is really upset Diana is going. I have asked the nurses to move her to the window so that she can have a view of the fall colours. We will try to get down and visit her, but all depends on Diana's schedule. She is such a sweetie.

[I forgot to tell you. We had fun the other day. The narcotics bureau arrived and wanted to search the area where sister was. The nurses told them a little old sister was there. Anyhow they had been instructed to search and search they did. Sister was in fits of laughter. I asked her if this was a new way of raising funds by getting the nuns to peddle drugs!!!!! We all had a good laugh about it.]

Well had better pack Diana's things. Hopefully next blog will be from Midland. Thank you to the blog master who is currently sunning herself in Florida bur still continues to post the blogs many thanks.

  3. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Our church will be holding a prayer vigil in one weeks time and one of the things we will be praying for is your family, particularly Di. I love you all very much and, again, if there is anything that I can do please let me know. You're both very very special to Jill and I. ~ Dan Quagliata

  4. just thinking about you both so very much and trust that di, you weren't too exhausted and too overwhelmed by the going home trip. Ian, i am sure that the responsibility of being home is huge and i do trust that you will have sufficient help and enough practical and emotional support during what continues to be a traumatic time for you all. nonetheless, were glad you're home and eagerly await your news when time and emotional strength and energy allows you to write. hope all the tablets and treatments go excellently well!!!!!!!!!! love as always, hugs and more hugs!!!!!!!!!!!
