Better This Morning

As I awoke this morning, I felt like I had been dreaming...these things are not happening to my Dan. It was all a bad dream. But then I remembered...no, Dan is not well. Dan has cancer in his thigh.

As soon as Dan got out of bed, with relief, I saw that the swelling in his right calf has gone down to about half of what it was when we went to bed last night. He slept all night with it propped up higher than his heart.

We will call his personal physician as soon as her office opens at 9 a.m. CST. We will also call Dawn at MD Anderson. We've discovered that we have to keep on top of things. Doctors have so much to do. Sometimes things slip through the cracks.

But, for now, we thank God that things are better than they were 6 hours ago. We're going to do something nice for ourselves - go to Starbucks for breakfast! -- Anne and Dan
