Off to see the radiology oncologist this AM. Appt. was to be 12/18/2008 but Pop has reported some stiffness and discomfort in his low back and shoulders---(You'd think he'd learn by now not to tell me this stuff). I called the office yesterday and asked if it wouldn't be a good idea to see him earlier since he is symptomatic and was not having these complaints at last exam (of course at last exam he was on considerable pain medication.) Dr. Kelley agreed and worked Pop in today. Pop has great MD's---Dr. Kelley's usual office appt. day is Thursday.
We all stayed around the fireplace last evening. Second time Pop has been down to the family room since October. Pop is verbally resistance but physically compliant with assistance on the stairs. Jan and I had a canasta tournament while Pop watched every station available on cable. The TV, at 80+ decibels appeared almost strobe-like at times.
Thank you for continuing to keep Pop in your thoughts and prayers---especially with all the scheduled procedures, appts, chemo, etc.
Love,
Mom
PS: Lindsay and Lauren made it home safely (some delays with weather, lost luggage, etc. but safe.) It was great having them visit!
