Much Better.....

Jerry had the packing removed from his nose today. Everything went fine and he didn't have any additional bleeding. That made him feel much better and he is able to have the oxygen back in his nose rather than in his mouth so maybe his throat will begin to feel better. Of course, we are not sure if the radiation is affecting his thoat. That is possible and common. He ate better today also. He was pretty tired after going to the ER to get the packing out and then to his radiation treatment so he napped quite a bit this afternoon and evening. He will be seeing the radiation oncologist tomorrow after his treatment. He usually sees him on Thursday but it was changed this week. This will probably be the last time he sees him since his treatment ends on Wednesday of next week.

When I heard that you had to have your nose packed, it reminded me of when I had sinus surgery & had my nose packed. I was sympathetic with you this week and are glad it's out. It's nervewracking.

We are enjoying keeping up with your journey to getting well.

Thank you, Judy, for giving us this opportunity to check on Jerry.

Love,

Jerry & Nancy
