The challenge du jour yesterday was pills. Ernie's throat is so swollen that he can no longer choke down some of his large pills. The oncology nurse told us that there are generally three options: see if the pills are available in liquid form, or see if they can be crushed or dissolved. With the help of drugs.com and the CVS pharmacy, we found solutions for the two most troublesome pills. He has so many that it still takes him as long to take his pills as it does for me to eat a complete meal.
Thank goodness Jim and Charley arrived Thursday PM for their monthly visit. Other going to Johns Hopkins, the activities of daily living are consuming most of our waking hours. We would probably go stir crazy without some social interaction.
