Discharged from the Hospital!

Ah, the penthouse room was short-lived....I guess there are too many sick folks. After seeing 20 nurses, physicians assistants, surgeon, techs this morning (only one that we requested) Dennis had had it-he could not sleep. So now, after dinner and a walk around the block, he is in his own bed at the Baroness Hotel; Faith in attendance, handing him his meds at the right time. The evenings are cool and relatively quiet - for a city - but after appointments with neuro oncologist tomorrow, we are packin' to go home. Yahoo! I read him all the 24 hour campfire posts tonight and he listened attentively to each one (28 pages worth in the thread so far) Tomorrow we'll read blog comments and eat coffee ice cream. Best wishes from us both, F&D

Dennis and Faith,

Nothing like a brown dog and two cats that think they are brown dogs to help one heal. So I am very glad to hear you are out of the hospital and headed home in a few days. Hope to see you very soon.

Great to hear you're out of the hospital. Hope you had ginger with your coffee ice cream. Was thinking about you and Dave and Ed and Lynno playing horseshoes at Twin Lakes/Turquoise Lake back in the day. Don't recall that many shoes making it around the peg, though!! Stay strong, Denise T.

Hi Dennis --

I'm glad you are out of the hospital and returning to the place you love. I've been thinking of you and Faith. And recalling, with a smile, some of the times we had together in Colorado. Stay strong...

Thinking of you Dennis as I was walking my dogs in the Vermont sun this evening(just like AK one has to get out in the sun around here when it shines). I was telling my dogs (yes, I now have two) about those those early morning Tongass Congressional requests. Me in DC looking at the clock guessing what you'd be doing about then... holding off calling you until you were coffee'd up and were walking your dog, but still not quite in the office yet. Perfect timing. You were always there Dennis, and I just want you to know, I'm here for you.
