Home sweet home.

Saturday, April 23, 2011
Martin is happy to be back home in Pemberton. We arrived yesterday afternoon. The ride back from North Van in Oni's truck went really well and M was able to doze in the back seat and did not have any pain. He was very happy to reunite with his own space and had a nap on the couch as soon as we arrived. It was also good to have a home-cooked meal again last night cooked by Anne.

The night was a bit rough unfortunately as Marty did not get much sleep. It seems being back home might take a bit of time to get used to again. M's throat is sore from the radiation treatments (now they are over! Phew.) and this may continue for another week or two. He had some unsettling dreams and did not feel rested. Hopefully tonight will be better as he gets used to being home again.

Francesca the home care nurse just visited and went over his medications and also said that home care support is available up to 3 hours a day should M's caregivers need a break. Good to know and keep in mind.

Since it is a beautiful day we are going to go sit out on the "beach" now as M's dad calls it, that is the driveway, and gaze at beautiful Mt. Currie and soak up some sun. Later today Tuula will come visit and tomorrow Amy and Oni will come.

All for now,

Carolyn
