To the Doctor today

This afternoon we go visit Dr. Fong and see about taking out the feeding tube that goes from dianes nose into her stomach. If we remove it, she has to then "eat" like the rest of us, starting with clear liquids and then progressing to soft foods like applesauce and pudding. She has lost weight during this whole ordeal, I have been gaining the extra pounds for the entire family, since so many people have been bringing such WONDERFUL food to our house. Brian is hardly here, Diane can't eat, so it's Tyler, Danielle and I, usually with a meal for 6 people. So where does it go? In my stomach, of course, including the dessert! I went to the gym today, first time in 2-3 weeks, and it felt great getting back to Pilates. Both physically and mentally, wow, what a difference today.
Diane had a fairly good nights sleep last night, still coughing, still with neck pain, but she is beginning to get a little more feeling back around her left ear, neck and throat. She doesn't feel like she is ready to start eating, it still hurts to swallow, but we will see what the Dr. says. We lso are going to find out about the biopsy, Di is concerned and worried about today's appt., we also will find out about going through radiation treatments too.
