Barend is continuing his stint in radiation this week after a weekend off. Over the weekend there was a mild fever and Barend's cough came back some, so after radiation they went back to the oncologist office for stronger antibiotics and an x-ray.
Lately it has felt like the never-ending parade of doctors appointments and we're all hoping that we get over the hump soon and get to start enjoying life a little more. The good news is that Barend is walking much better now that the rod is installed and once he gets his strength back in that hip he should be moving better. Obviously the goal is not to have a walker, if for no other reason than getting his daughter's comments to stop.
After Wednesday we should have a break from radiation too and hopefully some time to rest, catch up and get back into the swing of things. After the 5 days of radiation there should be a long break from that and then it just becomes the regular three-week chemo appointment. I think I see the top of the hump!
Sorry about all the appointments. But glad to hear that the Bionic Man is almost back to racing speed! Hopefully all the energy of the grandkids is working it's magic. I am a little worried about the gnome though. I have a book that I need to send you but by no means should you share it with the grandkids. It is the stuff that horror movies are made of. A good read none-the-less.
