For the title of this post to make any sense, you need to look under “sucker punched” for the comments made by our nephew Dan’s girlfriend Ellen. I haven’t met her yet, but I like her already. My new saying will be “swim between the flags”. Right now Bob is back between the flags.

Today’s report is still good. The antibiotics are working and the right dosage of pain medicine is helping manage the pain. The plan was/is to have him on antibiotics for 5 days before releasing him. Tomorrow they will be starting on oral antibiotics so that is a step closer to going home. He, of course is ready to leave now since he’s not doubled over in pain. But since I have the keys to the Jeep, and his pants, and the doctors have him hooked up to machines, its going to be tough for him to escape.

Once again I am going to ask you readers to imagine. . . you all know Bob and now imagine him without NICOTINE or CAFFEINE for 72 hours. He also is very bored and has a very small non-dish TV without TiVo, so he gets 4 stations and doesn’t get them well and can’t back them up. Hasn’t had a poker chip in his hand for over a week and he is wearing a hospital gown. Is this the happy Bobby we all know and love?, I think not!

He gets Chemo Sabe removed on Tuesday for a week so he can’t even complain about his “fanny pack” and it appears to work so I love the pack.

As I said in the beginning, Bob is between the flags and I feel confident that he will be swimming very soon.
