It's really getting better all the time. My friend and her husband are coping, and it seems that the treatment he's on is helping him. Pain is still an issue. Dahey went out and stayed with him for a while in the afternoon and they had a nice chat.
The other reason it's better: it's the weekend. Hooray!
Hope you enjoy your weekend wherever you are.
Stay tuned.

Weekend follies - travel wrap-up
Yes, if you travel, you get to do lots of things.
Here's a few of the things I did:
1. Walk. I went over 10,000 steps on my pedometer every single day walking back and forth to various sessions. That's not including the to and from to the conference.
2. Eat. Lots and lots of restaurants (and some nice receptions) with loads of food. I tried to stay away from too many bagels (aka meeting room food).
3. Drink. Lots and lots of coffee--every kind you can imagine. Also had some of the local beverages which were quite tasty.
4. Chat with presidents. And vice presidents and marketing directors, as well as our sales reps. I was enlisted to do a demo with one of the products I use regularly for one vendor. She didn't know how to use it.
5. Collect swag. I got a gallon Ziploc full of pens for the nursing staff: light up pens and even the new pens with stylus ends for your tablet. I also got a purple dragon and mints, among other things. Wish I could have gotten a fedora (yes, one vendor gave those out) for S.
6. Meet. Met lots of fellow nurses from around the country. Had lots of fun discussing everything we do in the SU. Was almost tempted to show up in scrubs when the dress code said "business dress".
Yes, even in the SU, scrubs are business attire. However, I caved and wore my "I could be a banker" suit.
And now, I get to do one more thing: prepare an expense report. It's all worth it. I learned a lot, walked a lot and had a lot of fun.
Stay tuned...
