...and waiting, and waiting.

There isn't much new news to post. Ed is still waiting to find out when his G-tube can be removed. The original purpose of the G-tube was to provide a direct line to Ed's stomach during those times of chemo. or radiation when he was unable to "mouth feed." It has since become a cat toy, a dangly thingy, and a general source of annoyance. Ed recently performed his own tube shortening-ectomy. The oncologist and ENT Dr.s must concur that Ed really, really won't need the tube again before they will order it removed. Ed still has the port for chemo. located in his shoulder area but it is much less of an annoyance.

Ed is pretty much tired of feeling tired. He describes it as, 'still not feeling like myself.' As frustrating as it is to Ed that he doesn't have the strength or stamina that he would like, it is impressive how well he's doing.

Thanks for everyone's continued support. I will be dedicating an entire blog to thanking all of you...once I can edit down the list to less than the length of a James Michener novel!
