It's so nice to be home! I got released from the hospital late this afternoon. Of course on the way home we had to stop at Target pharmacy to add a few additional bottles of medication to my ever-growing collection. We finally broke down and bought a giant pill bandolier. Just call me Poncho Cooper!
I am feeling so much better. The wonderful nurse I had yesterday was so good to get everything organized last night so I could finally get some solid sleep with the new sleeping medicine - she took my vitals before she left at 11:00 so they didn't have to wake me up later and she put a big "Do Not Disturb" sign on my door. I took the new medication and went right to sleep. THEN at 12:30 the night nurse came in and woke me up to introduce herself. WOW! Luckily I went right back to sleep and got more rest than I have been getting.
On Thursday we are meeting with a New Melanoma Specialist that has a lot of possible studies that I can participate in to help in my recovery.
For those of you reading from different parts of the country you will be glad to know that it is -8F with a wind chill of -20F!
Everyone please take care and thanks for your continued support and good wishes!

Good Morning, Jim,
You are such a trooper and a wonderful role model for all of us. You manage to keep such a positive attitude and sense of humor about things. I'm so happy that you write in your blog on a regular basis because I think of you so often and wonder how you're doing.
Take care of yourself and remember you in my thoughts.

Hi Jim... just a quick note to let you and Elizabeth know that you both are in my thoughts. It's great to know that you're hanging in there, and that you continue to keep your "sunny side" up. Take care, Barb
Jim, too many drugs can cause you to do goofy things, so make sure you turn the right way after getting out of bed.
"God Helps Me Pee"
An old man and his daughter go to the doctor for his monthly checkup. During examination, the doctor asks how his nightly incontinence is.
"It's fine," says the old man. "I just get up and go to the bathroom, and God turns on the light for me."
The doctor finishes up the examination, and then calls in the daughter to tell her about the God-light thing.
"Oh, my God!" says the daughter. "He's been using the fridge again!"
Every since you left, things are changing around Target. All of your prayers are getting answered. Hang in there and talk with you soon.
