Phoebe Home Social Worker Called Today
Rebecca called to let us know that because Dad is not responding to therapy, he will be taken off therapy by next week. She asked if we intended to move him to NewSeasons. I said we needed to exhaust all Medicare benefits first.
Fortunately, she said Medicare would continue to pay for Dad since he still requires management of his biliary drain. He will stay at Phoebe for the time being. Good!
Lin's Lumpectomy on Thursday
Lin's sentinel node was positive. They had to take out several nodes. We'll find out more about the pathology report in a couple of days. She has a wound drain which will be removed at the follow-up visit on Tuesday. We were at the hospital from 7:30am until 6pm. She's not in too much pain yet, but is very nauseous. She's been throwing up. Needless to say, we're pretty depressed.
The good news was that the pre-op tests, blood, chest x-ray and bone scan were all negative. At least that's good news.
