Today was cleaning day. Since the Lodge operates on donations, there is no staff to clean the rooms as there is in a hotel.....everyone is responsible for their own rooms. So, radiation at 11AM and then the rest of the day to ourselves to clean, read, socialize, and we managed a 2 hour nap before dinner.
After dinner, 2 interns from the music therapy program at UH provided some interactive music therapy for those interested. BTW, in this musical therapy, John played the part of Jack in Jack & the Beanstalk and now he's awaiting the arrival of his Oscar!!! My guess is he went along with this because one of the interns was a very attractive young lady. Is anyone out there surprised??
They, apparently, come every other Wednesday and this therapy has been proven to be very beneficial to both patient and caretaker. It seems there's always something going on here. It's not like you're just sitting around waiting for your next treatment or Dr. appointment, you actually feel like you're still living a life in the midst of all this. They do such a great job here...it's just more than I ever could have imagined.
Good news.....the antibiotic is kicking in, the sores on John's head are drying up, the pain from them has subsided, and he's able to sleep well without any interruption. Perhaps a small victory, but one we'll take.
