SPRING HAS SPRUNG AND CATHY IS BETTER

The morning after our anniversary party I passed out, cold, in the bathroom–and NOT from drinking, darn it! So the next day, Monday, I called my GP and she ran some blood work etc. and decided that it was low blood pressure and prescribed lots of salt and liquids. The next day I was due for my big barium swallowing exam at JH. I passed with a “C”–normal for someone who has been through the radiation I’ve been through, impaired from actual normal function. But I can swallow and I am moving more and more into solid foods. I have had to give up on the idea that I would go back to work part-time on Monday for a full week. Instead, Beth will drive me in for a 4-hr. day Tues. and Thurs. and we’ll see how that goes.If its good, we’ll try three days the next week and maybe I’ll be on my own by late Feb. In the meantime, I am working from home a few hours a day to get the feel of it. As usual, progress but SO SLOW.
