As of this morning, any visitors to Les's room will be asked to "gown-up" to avoid the spread of the staph infection. The gowns, masks and gloves are outside his door.
Getting him off a lot of those meds has made him much more awake, but not much more talkative. His appearance is a little different too, as he is sporting a very stubbly stache and beard. (I said he looks a little like Sean Connery.) His neck and cheek are still pretty painful and shaving just isn't high on his list.
Eating is a bit better, but getting him to drink is really hard. An appointment with Dr. Tarantolo will happen sometime late next week to monitor his condition and see whether more chemo is apart of the plan.
Thanks for keeping up on Les's progress!

I heard the ladies love the stubble. So I am trying to "rock" it right now as well. No luck as of yet, but I am holding out hope. I don't think I am pulling the Sean Connery look....most likely I look like a vagrant. Maybe it's time to shave.
ReplyDeleteLove you all,

Thinking of you all. Glad your back. Hope the cheek is feeling better soon. Maybe you need a CheriO's smoothie????

ReplyDeleteHopefully everything will go better now that the meds are adjusted and they caught the virus.
We think of you often and you are in our prayers.
Hang in there.
