It has been two days since chemo, and a rare time off from tests and appointments. Yesterday we toured Hampton National Historic Site. Hampton was originally a summer home for a family of wealthy Baltimore steel mill owners. It is about 11 miles from the Inner Harbor but took 17 hours by horse and carriage when it was completed in 1790. Originally built on 25,000 acres, this Georgian mansion was bigger than Monticello and Mt Vernon combined. It is over 90% original and, thanks to your tax dollars, tours are FREE.

Tomorrow Ernie has his "gastric emptying study"--the second of the two studies to determine best placement of the feeding tube. For this, we have to be at "work" by 6:45. The test lasts 5 hours and includes a complementary breakfast laced with radioactive materials. Once he eats, they use a Geiger counter of sorts to track the flow of food. Yum. Think I will eat in the cafeteria instead.
