January 20th, 2010 (Wednesday) Update from Inga

Hi again all. I must begin by pointing out the mistake made in the last posting. Four out of eight laps around the hospital equals 1/2 mile. Not a quarter mile. Durrrr. Thank you Selvaggio's for pointing out my error. You win the big prize!!! I don't know what that is yet, but you guys win it.

Ken was having a bit of pain this morning from his surgery sight. We are checking into that. He has a sore throat that we have been following for a few days now. Doc says it could be from the radiation, so he has postponed any remaining treatments for this week. Ken of course doesn't like a day where he doesn't feel he has accomplished something. He wants to keep plowing ahead, God love him. He has had a little relief from the vomiting. This evening was puke-free. He slept a little while I was up there tonight. I never thought hearing him snore would make me smile. But smile I did.

He got a new room today. So much nicer than the one he was in. First off, it's a private room, so no chance of a neighbor. Wood laminate floors, bigger bathroom with his own shower, two sinks, one in the room, one in the bathroom. I was much more impressed with the staff, too. But all that moving made him kind of tired, so he took his nine o'clock drugs about a half hour early and is now hopefully sleeping soundly.

Thanks again to all of you for your well-wishes and offerings of service. I wish I had more for you to do.
But for now, prayer is all I ask of you. And yes, I know, I don't even have to ask. Love you all. Inga
