Today was a great day! The dizziness is gone and he has been walking with only support on his arms, no walkers! He also got his staples removed which will make him feel a whole lot better.

We did get a little scare this morning. His liver enzymes were elevated so Dr. Yip wanted to get an ultrasound to make sure there was nothing going on. He also changed a couple of his medications again. The ultrasound was fine. At first they thought they saw something, but decided on further review that everything was ok.

The best part of the day is that Dr. Yip decided to go ahead and schedule our supervised outing for tomorrow! We are going out to lunch with a nurse, and one of favorite ones is going with us. We can go anywhere we want, Mayo provides a car service, and Bill can eat anything he wants. If this outing goes well then over the week-end he and I can come and go from the hospital alone and if we do well with these then he will be discharged on Monday.

I think Bill is a little apprehensive about the outings. He's not concerned about people looking at him, but about being able to eat. He's still re-adjusting to his dentures and because the pump takes up extra space in his abdomen, he can't eat as much as he used to. But, I think that once we are out he will do fine.

I'm trying to catch a cold so I came home early today to get some medicine to try to knock it out. Hopefully it will work quickly.

We have a nor'easter coming and it is so nice out right now. There is a wonderful breeze and it's a pleasant temperature, but supposed to be raining tomorrow. I have to remember to take Bill's jacket.
