On the Road Again

Tomorrow we leave for Ernie's 6 week follow-up at Johns Hopkins.  We will drive up tomorrow, spend the day at JH on Tuesday and drive back on Wednesday. 

The pain is not as bad as it was last week.  In fact, Ernie has reduced the number of pain pills he's taking in the last few days.  However, despite his strong desire to eat, he hasn't been able to get down any "real" food other than pudding.  The other things he's tried--mashed potatoes and gravy, scrambled eggs, cooked carrots--either get stuck in his throat or cause a strong burning sensation.  We are anxious to know when this and other side effects will disappear.  Check back for the answers on Wednesday.
