It was a busy weekend. Yesterday, a telemed monitoring system was delivered. With the tablet and accessories, I send daily updates of Blood Pressure, pulse, and.oxygen. If anything seems off, then a nurse contacts me.

A nurse also visited Friday. She provided feedback that my gait, posture, cognition, and general self seems better than it was during her last visit. (Let's hear it for dexamethasone!)

Today, a speech therapist visited. Rather than trying to fix my incurable speech impediment, she monitored my swallowing of solids, semi-solid, and water. She gave ideas on small fixes I can make now is sending a book with more ideas and information. With fear lurking about how radiation will affect my swallowing, she will come back for weekly check-ins.
