Valentine's Day (Saturday)

Yesterday morning, Sharky had an echocardiogram and then after, went into surgery and had the stent catheter inserted. He called me when he got out and was almost incoherent. I called Mr. DW and he picked us up close to 4 and we went down. It was a bit of a hike from the new parking area to the oncology ward. Luckily, he's got another private room with a nice view. Not as good as the ground floor view of the river (with dolphins!) but a nice skyline view of the city, especially beautiful at night.

We were there until almost 7 pm. His boss swung by and I got to meet him. We made sure he had dinner (his door said NPO, nothing by mouth, but I questioned the nurse and he ended up with a tray of food. LOL). Texted with him later on and he said that they brought in the chemo at 8:30 pm, four bags of it. It finished about 4 am.

Talked to him this morning and he got breakfast and a shower and said he was actually feeling quite well. He's been disconnected from the iv and the heart monitor so he's "free" now. He still has to stay in until they do the bone marrow test, so maybe Tuesday? I doubt they'll do the test on the weekend. No more chemo is scheduled for another two weeks (?).

Found out that he called and spoke to his dad on Thursday night. He tried to call his mom, but she's moving from her old place up to his sister's. He called his sister and told her what was going on and asked her to tell his mom.

After we left last night, we swung by Publix on the way home. Got cat food and Petunia HAD to have frozen burritos. Thank goodness, Publix had a sale on them. LOL

Bug's leave was supposed to start Monday, but he spoke to his Commanding Officer yesterday and was granted permission to leave today. He, TBoo and BabyBug will be here this afternoon.

Gave Petunia her Valentine card, Hello Kitty chocolate and her present - little sterling silver cubic zirconia stud earrings Sharky and I picked out last weekend. She really loves them.
