December 4 Final Update

I’m still here. They haven’t sent me home because I don’t walk too well. Part of that is due to deconditioning and part is due to the numbness from the chemo in my feet.

I’ve gotten lots of nice comment phone calls from those that have seen the article in the paper.

Other than that there isn’t much else to report. I’m having some arguments with various parts of my body that I hope will soon correct themselves.

Give your self some time to get your legs working properly. They haven't been used for a couple weeks and are a little rusty. You should use a walker to assist you in getting back in shape.

I know you so wished that you had gone home today, but, it's probably much safer if you wait until you're more steady on your feet. Now that you can begin to move around a little, your strength should begin to build up a little more in the next few days. It will come - your body has rested awhile and that's when it begins to think - hey, this feels kinda good just layin' around all the time. No can do body - time to wake up and get movin' again!

I enjoyed reading your interview. It's a testimony to your strength, your ability to really push when you need to. And, how wonderful that they printed how many faithful visitors enjoy your blog everyday. We're all faithful supporters for sure. I send my prayers for renewed strength. God will carry you until your strength returns. He's always there for us in times of need. God Bless You. Ruth

Nora and I were hoping you'd be home by now; but it's best not to go home until you're stronger.

You've got the doctors and nurses in line and now they listen to you. The only thing left is to get your body to listen to you. After all, you are the Commander In Chief in all situations.
