Terry is at Home

Our home internet is still down so a little harder to keep everyone up-to-date. I took Terry home early last night. His Dad had taken Terry down to the salon at MD Anderson to get his hair cleaned up and reshaped so when I got there he was sitting in his clothes, with a new baseball cap on his head! It was so wonderful to see him dressed and looking like Terry. The baseball cap will be his new look until his hair grows back and covers the incision. Anyway, he was more than ready to go home. Last night he did well, was so grateful to be in his own bed and I think slept quite well. He also got up joined us at the table for dinner which was quite fun and we had a nice conversation reflecting on the events of the past two weeks. He continues to have a lot of pain in the eye but it will take time to heal. The swelling this morning considerably down again so every day it will get better. He cannot even attempt to use the computer for a week, make phone calls, emails, etc. Doctors want him to just sleep and rest. If friends want to stop by, I think he will be very open to seeing friendly faces. Just give us a call, to make sure he is awake. Terry's brother, Steve and his wife, Yvonne, will be spending Memorial Day weekend with us. We are both looking forward to their visit and I think their visit will be very good for him. Something to talk about rather than just the surgery. I take him back to MD Anderson tomorrow morning already to visit his doctor and perhaps get more detailed recovery instructions so he will already have an outing tomorrow morning. We continue to get calls and cards. To many of you I have not been able to return the calls or emails but will start doing so this week. Between trying to keep up with work, Terry's clients, and the hospital, it has been hectic. Again, many thanks to you all for seeing us through this. Everyone have a wonderful day!
