Wednesday March 24

We have loved the warm weather the last couple of days...sure wish it would stick around. Sunshine makes everything seem better!
Dave went to work yesterday and today. He is truly amazing....he then comes home and rests so that he can go to track practice. If the truth were told I think he gets tired of me!!! He needs the normalcy that being at school brings and I know that he misses everyone ...I am glad that he has been able to get back if only for a short term basis....Of course I never underestimate Dave's determination....Guess time will tell.....
He has developed a urinary tract infection which is making him uncomfortable. I am concerned too because his legs and ankles have begun to swell. Hopefully the antibiotic for the UTI will kick in soon. The swelling is another issue, we will address it at our next drs. appt. I sit at night and rotate his legs and ankles so that hopefully the muscles will not completely atrophy. He has no usage of his left leg and his right is not always reliable so we are very careful when we have to move anywhere.
We have a doctor's appt. at West Wichita tomorrow for blood work and body scan. The scan will determine how effective the chemo and the radiation have been. We have a consult with our oncologist on April 1st. He will go thru the scan report and we will discuss what our next course of action will be....this will be a very important appointment .....
Jack Thomas called this morning and is bringing us a pizza for dinner...we love the pizza from out there in Cheney.....sunshine or not...it is a good day!
Blessings to all......
