Great news! My team of doctors, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, psychologists, a social worker, and my nurses met yesterday to discuss my progress. They talked about how amazed they are at my condition based on what I’ve been through. They talked about how far I’ve come in just four days of their intense rehab program. They discussed goals for this week and what they think it will take for me to go home. Their conclusion is that, with more hard work, I should be going home on Thursday. This is great news. I’m looking forward to being home in a more comfortable place to heal and be able to hang out with my kids more.
In other news, I have an appointment set with the OHSU lymphoma expert on Friday. It will be good to get some clarity on the cancer and to finally know more about treatment. Then it will just be a matter of time (about one more week) to finish healing my surgery site and infection before starting the cancer treatments.
