Home Sweet Home

Released from MKE
This past week, we were able to move back to GB finally. While we make fun of GB regularily it has been a great place to raise a family and is still our home. As the saying goes, "There is no place like home!" My blood counts and overall condition allowed me to get back to local care here with Beth by my side and my local Oncologist. We are working towards restarting life again one day at a time.

Recipe Warriors
I'd like to thank all the recipe contributors...I'll be trying them all over time and appreciate everyone's efforts in expanding my cooking horizons.

Robb's Pasta Error
In rereading my posted recipe I found an error that must be corrected. Work into sauce Heavy Cream, not Heavy Whipping Cream (nasty).

Medical Fun
On our first post hospital release visit to my main Dr. at Froedtert, there was some concern over a current "condition" that they believed could potentially be a C-Diff infection. If tests proved positive it would lead to an immediate entry back into the hospital for treatment.

I asked what C-Diff was and they said it was a hospital borne infection (meaning you got it from being in the hospital). With my ever growing confidence in dealing head on with the medical profession I said..."So you are telling me you would want to bring me back to the hospital for treatment of an infection I got because I was in your hospital!?" Dr. replied, "Yeah it does kinda sound counter intuitive doesn't it?"

I assured myself, there was no way I had C-Diff, and there was no way I was going back into the hospital if I did have C-Diff. Period. Tests proved negative so all is good...but you have to remain vigilant in directing your care.

Looking Forward
I'm looking forward each week to improved stamina and condition...it's a process and time frame that is very challenging for me. I'm used to making things happen and running multiple projects, etc. so mentally this has been a big challenge. You tend to take all you have for granted, and forget we are gifted with abilities. Until you lose them, you don't really realize all you have.

We'll probably post one or two more updates, then close the blog within a few weeks. Our life isn't that interesting nor do we intend to make it so public. In any event, we certainly appreciate all your support and feedback throughout this process.

Take care,
Robb
