Home safe and sound, Paul is a wonderful and fast driver so we always make good time.  We have lots of strawberries, I'll bring some to the club for snacks on Thursday afternoon.  We met wtih nurse Heather Bridge, I had met her before.  What a sweet nurse.  I love her and am encouraging her to learn the game of bridge.  She removed all the bandages, the head wrappings were stuck and hurt a bit,  I had taken an Oxycodon and a xanax but was still hurting.  She was as gentle as she could be.  Dr. Rick Gonzalez showed up, I was so grateful.  He said the forehead looks perfect and will take 6 months to look like a normal scar.  A few of you have seen the photo.  Pretty grusome.  Think Ill wait to post the pic here or facebook.  I will change my bandages everyday for a week while applying neosporin.  Then another week of bandages with aquaphor.  And then maybe no bandage, maybe a dorag.  I dont think my head will feel good for quite some time.  Doc says about 6 months. Then maybe a wig or a combover.  Meanwhile I want to teach and run the club, I hope I dont scare people away.  Doc says the resection was perfect and the leg is healing normally.  Man is it sore!  Looking for a good place for radiation theraphy here near home.  I am comfident we will find the right place for the treatments.  Really tired.  Night All.  Time for another pain pill and sleep.  Oh I asked Doc, "Are we looking for a cure or an extension of life".  He said  "We are looking for the best we can get."  And my eyes have been swollen because of the surgery.
