Okay, once again, it's been too long since my last update. It's been a grind, what can I say... But I have wonderful news!
Biff is scheduled to be discharged from rehab on December 30th! He's been doing very well with therapy. He's worked really hard, and it has been difficult, but he has excelled and exceeded the expectations of all his therapists.
There will be Home Health care to follow (a nurse will visit once a week, and he'll have physical therapy twice a week). Possibly some private help, in particular I'm exploring the possibility of a night-sitter, which will (hopefully) allow me to sleep better through the night knowing someone is ready to help him if he needs it for any reason. No matter what, we must avoid future falls!!!
Further, when I called to leave a message for his Oncologist about the discharge, he answered the phone himself! (I was so shocked, I acted like an idiot LOL.) We've already scheduled a CT Scan for the 3rd, and we'll meet with the doctor on the 4th to discuss resuming his cancer treatment!
And now, for something entirely different, I'm sharing the poster for the movie Biff finished shooting the weekend before his throat surgery back last December: Self-Reliance.
It will be shown in 250 AMC theaters across the country on January 3rd only. A very limited theatrical run before it drops on Hulu. Click here to look for locations and times! If that doesn't work, run a search for "Self-Reliance AMC January 3 2024" adding your area at the end. Obviously, it isn't going to show up everywhere - but there will be Hulu after that, which is available everywhere!
I'm so glad we'll be able to go see it once in a "real" movie theater!!!
Also, I've already arranged to take him out of the rehab facility for the afternoons of both Christmas Eve and Day (which also happens to be our wedding anniversary). Woo hoo!
So, here we are, about to turn another corner in this crazy adventure! This man, this Biff Wiff, continues to beat the odds. Seriously, people at the rehab (nurses, aides, therapists, guests of his roommate, etc.) all tell him they are amazed by the improvement since he was transferred there on December 4th.
Not to mention the difference from November 19th in the hospital after his second surgery when it looked like he might not make it home ever again...
Love to everybody - may all the days be merry and bright, at least in spirit! May there be peace on earth and goodwill to all.
And, for something sweet and joyful, if you'd like to learn more about our surprise wedding back in 2018, click on "Read more" below.
We have been together 41+ years, but we have only been legally married for 5 years this Christmas. Back in 2018, we decided to get official, and we wrangled dear friends of ours (who had done something similar for their own wedding years before) to help us pull off the big surprise.
And I managed to catch it on video.
We wish all our friends and loved ones could have been there, but we love being able to share the fun with this video. It was a wild experience. Hope you enjoy it!
