Day +11 and 12

Sorry, one of those days where there just wasn't enough hours. Today Judy is dictating the blog. Here goes. Overall feeling pretty good, my mouth sores have subsided to the point of toleration. Now my mouth is covered in slime. I can finally drink water without the intense burn, but only small sips at a time. My hands and feet are still having issues, one of the blisters appears to have partially popped and that relieves the pressure. The other one is still intact. Hands are mostly effected they are dry and look like they have third degree burns and the skin is sluffing off to the point where I use scissors to remove it. I cover them in special salve and then wear gloves to protect them, yuk! I hope they return to normal because they are pretty ugly right now. I've not had any drugs for a couple of days and sleep is much better now. I am on my last bag of anti-biotics and no more nutrients. Still spike fevers but there seems to be no infections that are causing them, it could be just the high dose chemo or the severe mucositis. I walked about a mile today leaning on a walker to take the stress off of my feet, it really helps. I continue to improve with each day that passes and I am due to be discharged to Marc on Friday, we will be staying at the Marriot at Lake Union until they allow me to go home. That could be as much as four weeks, but with the progress I've made we anticipate that it will be at least half that long. Looking forward to just going outside for the ride over there. We booked a room with a view so in the evening I will enjoy just sitting on the balcony taking in the things that people normally due on a daily basis that we all take for granted. Keep up the thoughts and prayers we still have a ways to go. Thanks to all!
