Back home in our hotel now.

I got to bring Don home to our hotel today, for a little while anyway. He is not feeling well today. I guess it is side effects from his chemo. He is experiencing alot of muscle pain in his back, shoulders, and neck. He is also very very exhausted. He is in bed already, and it is only 8:30 p.m. Tomorrow we have more appointments, blood work, doctor visit, my demostration test on what I learned...yuk!! Sure hope I pass this thing.
When you get a day off here, you still dont get a day off. They have you returning to the hospital every day. And they almost always make your appointments early in the morning so there is no sleeping in either. I sure hope Don can get some rest tonight. They sent him home with a i.v. drip in a portable backpack. It must be hard to sleep with his "buddy" on the pillow next to him.
We spoke to our daughter and grand daughter tonight, it was so good hearing their voices, but always makes us so lonely for them. It has only been a week, but seems much much longer to us. We are missing everyone so much. I met a lady today who has been here since January!! Makes me feel silly for being so homesick already. I know it must be so hard for her. Lots of people here to pray for. God is doing alot of work around here. I am gonna try and get some sleep now.
Nite everyone.

  1. Hey Mr. Hanes. I have been thinking about you. I am glad that things are going well for you. I know the chemo is making you feel bad but it will be all worth it once this is over. CANCER FREE is what we are all praying for forever!!! You get well soon so you can get back to catching some good fish!!! and playing some golf. Take care, Connie--HOLC
