Sammy headed off to Dartmouth today with her bags packed, ready to spend the night for some chemo. Sammy's oncologist, however, decided that it would make more sense to wait another week or so for Sammy's leg wound to heal some more before resuming chemo. Needless to say, that was fine with Sammy. So, she's back home for another week or so. Her leg wound looks great and is healing quickly. Sammy takes care of all the necessary dressing changes. Sammy's doctors and nurses praise Sammy's ability to perform her "wet to dry" dressings. Thank goodness Sammy enjoys doing it, because that is the one thing that Shari just doesn't have the stomach to do. Shari has stepped up to the plate and has given Sammy a million shots, but that's her limit. David is the "night nurse." His job is to set the alarm every night (or morning), to administer Sammy's medication. He gets up at least once or twice a night.
So that's life at the Rotman House. It's kind of like a nursing home but with better food (thanks to all of our friends).
We'll keep you posted.
Shari and David
