Just a little update

BJo is feeling better every day.  Well, Friday was a hard day - it was that day when it is "worse before it gets better".  But Saturday and today she is feeling some relief and mending and it seems that things are now in the "better" days.  Woohoo!  Happy Day!  We hope it lasts.

As for Terry, well, the bandage is now removed from the chest where the Hickman Line exited and though it's still wounded and tender, it is on the mend.  It looks good!  No signs of infection or concern.  He was able to work a little Friday and a little more Saturday, though it was short hours and very exhausting, it seemed to help him feel like he is accomplishing something, which is good.

This is the week for more updates - Terry will see the doctor Tuesday and BrittanyJo will see hers on Thursday or Friday.  We hope to share good news for both.

BJo was given a booklet of instructions and this image was in it.  We have seen this image many times at SCCA and occasionally at the WVClinic.  It's kinda funny to me. 


We saw it on the wall at the emergency room in Wenatchee too.
I'm not convinced that it's an accurate way to determine pain for everyone. 

Oh well!  It is what it is.






Here's hoping that your pain is at a 0 today, or at least a 1 or 2. 

Keep Smiling!
