November 15

Still nausea. Still leaking bladder. The good news: tomorrow, the abdominal drain will be removed because the drain is not draining anything. Abdominal fluid is still leaking out between the staples on Judy's backside. Hopefully, the bladder will heal and the leaking will abate soon. Today's consumption: another popsicle. Judy continues to maintain a positive attitude and a spirit of determination. Another breakthrough: Judy wants her hair drier. A good friend suggested that I make a list of words I wish I didn't know. Here we go...nephrostomy,JP tube, catheter, Fol fox, Fol-fury, radiation, lesion, tumor, primary, metastases, CT, PET Scan, MRI, hospital parking, chemoembolization, chemo, white cell count, laproscopic, surgery, medical appointment, hospital stay, cancer. You know, when you have a cold and you don't feel like eating or even getting out of bed. Well, Judy experiences that feeling times ten every time she undergoes chemo and times who knows what every time she has a major surgery. She is an inspiration and she continues to fight for all the people who love her and pray for her. One of the greatest miracles I've seen is people who have learned from Judy's experience to live life fully, rejoice always, be thankful and forgiving, believe, have faith, hope audaciously, be kind be gracious, be kind, and do what you can to inspire others to do the same.
