Coping

Larry feels lost and out of touch. If these infections get under control he knows that the best thing will be for him to get to his office downtown. Right now though he is learning self care. This is all knew to him and he is not liking all the attention he has to give himself.

I believe that Larry may be up to some phone calls. Morning, after 9am is the best time. Please know that he may sound perfectly normal on the phone and does not admit to how he is really feeling. That is how he is coping with all this. While the nurse was here this morning, everything is fine, he is feeling great, has no pain, etc. Then the nurse sees his grimace and looks at me. I just nodded and spoke to her as she was leaving. If that is what he needs to do so that he can get through this, that is ok. I notice it all and am able to see how he really is.
