It's much appreciated to
realize we have a great support network of family and friends. Yesterday we
went to the Clinic for the weekly chemo treatment; however, Larry's blood work
showed platelet count was way too low--so we drove back home. He is now wearing a pain patch that hopefully will take care of some of the aggravating pain he experiences. Perhaps he'll sleep better at night now. The med is highly addictive, but who in the hell cares! I am still trying
to "fatten" him up with pastries, baked goodies, and ice cream. That seems to
be working because he gained 2 pounds! I have a large bowl of M&M's next to his recliner, which he snacks on continuously! His immediate goal is to make a trout
fishing trip in August to Bennett Springs. I'm afraid, though, we won't make it;
he hasn't the strength or stamina. Besides that---his "fat" foot won't fit into
his waders! It looks like the trunk of a sequoia tree! We are keeping a
positive attitude as we muddle through this mess.
Again, thanks, guys!
