Out Patient procedure

Many of you have asked if Roger will have to stay in the hospital this Friday overnight. Both procedures are out patient. He should be home on the sofa by 1:00pm Friday afternoon in theory. The upside to these procedures, according to Roger, is that he gets to have another dose of the MichaelJackson-notorious drug, Propafol. He had the same drug administered on 7/24 and was in "happy-land". The euphoria continued as we were leaving the hopsital that day...he went around giving hugs to the nurses. My hubby aka Lover-boy...leave it to him to get a quick squeeze before exiting the hospital. Fortunately, I'll be able to warn the nurses this time now that I know Mr. Huggie may reappear.


Thanks to all of you extra "helpful" people out there offering to take the alcohol off our hands and "dispose" of it in a "responsible" manner. Very kind of you. :-) We're doing our part in trying to get rid of the alcohol BEFORE Friday through consumption. We may be a little grumpy at the Wethington household for the next 2-3 months during this process. No alcohol combined with mushy, soft food...yum. Oh well, you do what you have to do.


We have a friend who recently went through breast cancer. She very eloquently put it that we will soon have a "new normal...and thats the way you need to look at it." Not so much what things used to be, but more this is the new normal we have looking forward. (thanks JulieJ)


Thank you for the calls, emails, and posts. We get a big dose of strength from all of your thoughts and support. Thanks again. Love, Roger & Angie
