Here we go more or less on schedule.

Not much to report, Elaine is at home sleeping in a hospital style bed supplied by Silver Chain. She also has a pump delivering pain relief sub-cutaneously supplied by Sliver Chain and refilled daily by Silver Chain. They really do provide a fabulous service with never a complaint or failure to perform. As of tonight we will change Elaine's medication to eliminate the need for the pump and that will hopefully make life a little easier all round.

Every day since getting home Elaine is getting stronger and more independent, a bit too independent as she is still a falls risk. In herself she is also a lot more positive and this was helped along today by a good report from our radiation oncologist. May the good reports keep coming.

We sold our van a few weeks ago and have just done a deal on a new (preloved) one. This one is in Sydney and at this point her doctors have agreed that she can join me for the trip home - 10 days across the Nullarbor. It will be great if we can pull this off travelling together has always been good.
