We had a fairly quiet weekend with Sarah and Todd coming in from Louisville.
Although getting a chance to jog a little bit was fantastic, the highlight of the weekend was attending Mass. Father Tom met me with a huge hug and welcomed me back home. It was great to be back.
Today I was able to have the staples removed from the incision. Also I was fitted for a mask today to be used during the radiation phase of this process. These sessions will be 5 days/week and will start in the next 10 days to 2 weeks. I am doing a little running because it is good for my mental health but more importantly I want to be in as good of shape as possible starting out the radiation.
I also stopped by Farmers National Bank today where I have received nothing but support and request from people to do anything we need. It was an easy first step back to work. Hang in there one more week Sharon. I still plan to be back full time a week from today.
By Friday we should have all the information we need to finalize the treatment part of this adventure.
Thank you for caring.
Great detailed update. Sounds like you are getting back into the routine.
ReplyDeleteStephanie said she told you about the big fishing event. Ethan (the elder)had quite an experience except while the fish were being filleted he kind of did a heater. Robert and I thought he was trying to trick us (so unbecoming of a Pollom)that we first ignored him. Turns out after about the 7th gutting (in his words)he got grossed out. Fish are on ice until Marti and you come down for a fish dinner.
Wonderful update. I was wondering if you went back to church. So glad you did. Have a safe trip today and good luck with the evaluation!
ReplyDeleteIt seems as though Ethan Pollom has inherited his grandfather's weak stomach. So sad!
Uncle Bill and Aunt Marti,
ReplyDeleteWe're thinking of you. I wish we lived closer. The boys keep asking if we can do another South (or North) Carolina trip. What do you think? We may decide to fly this time; seventeen hours was a bit long.
Your training is going better than ours. I think will-power skipped my generation or just me.
I really appreciate your wonderful updates. It makes me feel a bit closer.
Love to you all.
Gretchen and family
Hey Bill, Melissa just sent me your blog site. Just wanted you and Marti to know that Dan and I are thinking of you and sending healing vibes your way! Sorry you have to go through this 'cause I know it's not any fun. I was glad to see you walking with Marti a few days ago and to hear that you're running some. Bound to help!
