I received the approval to leave the hospital tomorrow! I’m looking forward to being back home, to say the least! Nothing can quite describe 24 days in isolation. I’d love to tell you that the food was good or bad, however, I don’t have any taste buds left so I can’t taste anything, plus I have no sense of smell, both my taste buds and my nose were damaged by the Chemo. I can tell you what the food looked like but unable to write a NY Times food review. I’m told that both my senses of taste and smell will return after I return home, boy that stinks!
I can’t wait to be home with Theresa, she has had to wear a mask every time she visited me. Although she did peak thru the glass doors in my room without her mask just so I remember what her warm smile looks like. It will be a wonderful day when we all get back home together; we still have to go get the Red Dogs. I have to say that both of our dogs have received the warmest loving care possible and have forged new friendships and family friends.
Murphy is on the south shore and Quinby in Pennsylvania. I have been getting a number of reports that Murphy has found a friend in her new buddy” Louie” the Golden retriever where she is staying. They are both red and look like twins, I couldn’t tell them apart from 10’ away! They have been having a great time playing together in our friend’s back yard.
Quinby (the puppy) however, has been terrorizing his new little friend “Peppie” (a King Charles spaniel) and taking a swim or two in my sister in law Donnas’ koi pond; He will surely be full of energy when he returns. Not to mention he has developed into quite a swimmer over the past month! It’s going to be a challenge keeping out of the pond across the street!
That’s all for now I’ll post another update after I get back home.
