Off Bed Rest, Home Tomorrow

The doctors have given in to Dad's demands (after the bloodwork came back with levels where they wanted), and he's up out of bed and getting ready to start walking the halls. Apparently there is the reward of free ice cream down near the nurse's lounge, so he's a man on a mission to get both his strength back and a little treat.

Assuming all goes well today, he'll be home at some point tomorrow. He's been cleared to go SLOWLY on the treadmill and riding the mower later in the week. He is definitely anxious to get out of the hospital. Although apparently watching little Sam saying "Hi" to EVERYONE in the hallway when he was up for a short visit was quite entertaining for all involved.

Radiation/Chemo will likely start next Monday (July 28th). He'll continue on with the planning part of treatment the rest of this week.

Thanks for all of the calls, emails, comments, and visits!
