Vegas and the Snowpocalypse

She has felt better, but...
she has felt worse

Long, long week.

Pam has not been doing well. Her tonsil problem is improving slowly, very slowly, but she still has problems keeping food down because of the GVHD problem in her stomach and upper GI tract.

She is nauseated most of the time, and has been on a diet consisting mostly of chicken noodle soup and Boost for three weeks now. She has had to start taking anti-nausea medication again on top of everything else. It is a long slog.

Clinicient Crew in Vegas

I flew to Las Vegas on Monday for a physical therapy conference.  I didn't feel comfortable leaving Pam alone, so she stayed with her parents while I was away. The meeting was at the Venetian, and it was very nice.  The Venetian has palatial rooms and is a huge place.
I was on "booth monkey duty" all day, and after the exhibit hall closed I had commitments for drinks, dinner and meetings with customers and prospects.  It was a busy week. I gambled exactly $0, and got out of the Venetian exactly 0 times in the 4 days I was there.

I got home late Thursday evening, and PDX was in the middle of Snowpocalypse 2014. Luckily, I had no problem getting home from the airport.

We are hoping that her GVHD calms down soon.  In the meantime, I am trying to cook things that are pretty bland and easy to digest... mostly chicken, rice and vegetables.

Today, I occupied myself by doing a lot of reading and writing. I also did a slide deck that I hope will be used by physical therapists to educate their patients about their Medicare benefits for PT services (which suck).

February 13th marks the one year anniversary of Pam's stem cell transplant. I am hoping she feels better by then so we can celebrate.
