We went downtown for John's final visit to the neurosurgeon. He has been dismissed from thier care and only to return if he has any issues. He is still taking 2gm salt tablets a day and will be
referred to an endocrinologist to monitor his sodium levels.
The second appointment was at radiation therapy. This was just a practice run to ensure the plan is correct, aiming the radition beam at the right place, etc. Tuesday is the real thing in addition to starting oral chemotherapy.
Its scary but I'm starting to think like John. I put all our appointments in outlook! If I start pulling out graphs and charts, please shake me.
John is realizing these outings are just exhausting so I had him take a nap. The blinds were pulled, took out the phone and shut the door. A short time later, I could hear him snoring. I'm thinking yes, he is sleeping and then his cell phone rings. I was so careful about everything but forgot the cell phone! oh well...despite the cell phone, John was able to get some rest and woke up refreshed just in time to visit with Jamie.
Merry Christmas, Caren
