In the afternoon, I continued playing "Driving Miss Mary" and took her to her Opthalmologist where she had an interocular pressure reading of 12 mm, down from her high of 21mm earlier this year. It was that high reading that caused the doc to put her on Xalatan to lower the pressure. And, as expected, the known side effect has happened. It turns out Xalatan is also sold as Latisse for eyelash growth. Mary's got great eyelashes right now!
From there, the driver took Miss Mary to a quick hit for both Lunardi's and Whole Foods. Fortunately, they are both in town and across the street from each other.
Dinner last night was BLT sandwiches. Mary had purchased some great tomatoes on Sunday and we wanted to use them in a traditional summer dish. One of the reasons to go to Lunardi's was to pick up bacon for the sandwiches. And, yes, her salt management was a wee bit off yesterday in total but the sandwiches tasted great!
On the overall healing front, Mary reported she lost another pound yesterday (total of 3 out of the 12 or so she gained in the last weeks of radiation/chemo) so we think the liver and the diuretics are doing the work. She'd like them to work faster, but they are working. And, the last bit of incision that didn't heal due to the radiation treatment is now just about completely healed.
We ended the day by watching another episode of Band of Brothers, the HBO mini-series based on Stephen Ambrose' book of the same title. Spike TV was showing it on Labor Day weekend and we watched the first few episodes via TiVo. Well, we also own the DVD set so we slapped the next episode into the DVD player and continued enjoying the story last night.
Overall, a good day.
