The End

My soul-mate, my loving husband, my everything" passed onto a better life today.  I hope he experiences pure joy and utter peacefulness; I hope our family members in heaven welcome him with open arms.....and a martini with a cigar.

Final

Dear Family and Friends,
We are losing  him.

Larry is now under the auspices of Hospice. With a new bed and new meds perhaps the days 'n nights will go better. Anyone trying to phone should use my cell number...618-830-3966.  Texting works great for me if you wish.

And we go on....

Life without chemo is no different than with it.  Larry's days are still filled with pain in his stomach/groin area, and his gigantic "tree-trunk" of a leg is festering with tumors and open sores.  Since he fell twice, he now is using a walker to motivate around.  The boys have also handicapped proof one of the bathrooms; getting a daily shower is proving to be quite a task---- a two man operation.  Sleeping in bed at night is difficult--too much leg pain being horizontal.  Thus, he ends up sleeping in his lounge chair in the living room.  Our friends and family members want to visit, but for now he'd rather not have company.  Everyone knows he has a sweet tooth, and so supply him with all kinds of goodies.  So many thoughtful people are helping us survive the ordeal.  Thanks again to all!
