Jane and Frank here. I got some "bummer" (pun intended) news at the beginning of the year. Rectal cancer. Did chemo-radiation for 5 weeks, no big deal. Didn't feel sick or lose my hair. Just ruined my sense of taste for a while.
Just got home Wed from colorectal surgery. Had to get a colostomy, but again, no big deal. I'm walking and motivating just fine.
But the amazing thing is how nurturing Frank has been. He hasn't let me out of his sight since this began. Checking on me frequently to make sure he's still gonna get fed and let out on time no doubt. LOL. Seriously he is just the best nurse and I'm finding out he makes a pretty good mobility dog too. He inspected my walker yesterday to make sure the legs were latched and if I need to use him to stand (some tummy tenderness still) he braces so I can lean my weight on him. What a special boy and what a lucky girl that he came into my life when I needed him most.
He's what has kept me traveling this new path and staying in the right frame of mind.
There is nothing like a Newf Nurse. Hahaha
