Bonus Month 1 in the books

It's been over a month now.

I think being off the chemo has given Connie a bit of a lift.  Her spirits are good.  She thinks she can do things (even though she often bails at the last minute). 

The brain is still her biggest problem.  Finding the right words, having a thought and not being able to finish it, etc.  Doesn't let her have good balance.  I'm starting to notice pretty large short term memory loss (we talked about a show this morning at pretty good length, tonight she didn't know what I was talking about).

Still a lot of sleep time.  A normal day is she's up at 8, in bed from noon-ish to 2-ish, down for bed around 7p.  Now that football is over, I'm catching up on a lot of Netflix and Prime Video.  Plus, the business has been hopping, which is really helpful.

Her appetite is as good as can be expected.  She has a breakfast, a snack, one of those Boost protein drinks, and a dinner.  All small portions, but at least she's eating.

Hospice nurses are here every day through the week at this point for 30-60 minutes.  We've got oxygen ready to roll, as we feel it's going to be a necessity and wanted it here for when that eventuality happens.

A few people have been nice enough to call, stop over, bake some things.  All of which is really appreciated.  I can run to the grocery, post office and not be a basket case if I time it around one of her naps or a nurse visit.  She actually sat out and watched a little football Sunday, along with going to the beach once for about 45 minutes.

That's pretty much the update, thanks for taking the time to think of my wife.
