I was relieved to have gotten a good night's sleep last night. I was feeling so ill for days. The night before last I even forgot my evening meds until 2 am. It's amazing what that can do. I literally felt two steps away from needing a hospitalization. Yes, today is much much better. The end of this week will be stressful, but hopefully some bit of relief for my ears. I think/hope it will get a little easier from there.

My husband and I are pretty sure we'll be visiting my family (including my brother) over the Christmas/New Year's period. I think we'll stay at my father's house where my brother lives. Dad has lived at the assisted living for years. My sister said Dad's house is cleaned up enough for our visit/stay. I'm glad. We wouldn't have the money for renting a hotel room. Even my brother said we should stay in the house. That really means it's fine! I think a visit over a holiday feels less like a visit for a possible goodbye. I'm still hopeful (more than my sister) that my brother can fight the cancer. I'm not in denial about the possibilities, though.
