Nuts to you, doctors!

We saw the infectious disease doc today, Dr. Hosea, and gave him a box of chocolate covered macadamia nuts, we got a box for all of the doctors and their staff from the ABC Store right across from the hotel in Hawaii.  He was very appreciative, as was his staff.  They always seem surprised when we do this, like we are his only patients that do this stuff . . . maybe we are, who knows? Who cares?  

He took a culture of the wound and told us that the wound care dep't. at the hospital has the referral for the hyperbaric chamber treatment, or at least the consultation, so we'll set that up ASAP - it can't hurt to try it and I'll do just about anything to keep from going through another surgery to close the wound on the top of my head. As my plastic surgeon said, "Tom, if I thought rubbing your head in a pile of manure would help to close up your wound, I'd do it."  You're not the first person to want to try that, doc.

No answers yet on re-starting chemo or if that's the plan. Still lots of unanswered questions, some will only be answered by time, and they are usually the most disturbing, so better to not even ask, right?
