Jim slept pretty good last night, up and down using the bathroom, but was able to go back to sleep most time. He did take an Ativan about 3:00am. He sleeps until about 8:00 this morning. We lay around talking for a while, playing with Phaedra on the bed. Jim calls a couple friends to check in.
Jim has 1-1/2 blueberry bagels, jumbo olives and some roasted almonds for breakfast. Needs to drink lots of fluids.
Bath day - Need to clean up around his Hickman line. Whatever tape they were using in the hospital has left residue. It takes about 15 minutes to clean off. We cover the ends of his hickman line with Parafilm and place an AquaGuard over the site so he can shower. He wants to shave this morning. His face is soft as a baby's butt! No kidding, no stubble, no fuzz, nothing. Never seen him so clean-shaven.
His clinic visit is good, however, he is still neutropenic at .46, so we need to careful when out and about. His bp remains good.
We drive down to Chittenden locks and watch a couple boats go up. There is a very nice park, and we take Phaedra for a walk. It is a beautiful day, lots of sun, warm. We walk around for about an hour. Next stop Golden Gardens Park. First nice day in Seattle in a while and everyone has the same idea. The beach is covered with families picnicing.
What a wonderful day, good numbers, good walk, lots of fresh air. Jim is tired but we watch a movie before he heads to bed for the evening.
Deb.
