Monday Dad's morning was filled with appointments. The diabetic specialist agreed, he didn't need insulin when he wasn't on the dex. Next came Dr. Kazhdan. She said all the labs looked good and would see him again later in the week. We start Chemo again next week. Dad was suppose to have an appointment with the physical therapist in the afternoon, but his back was still hurting from the weekend visit. So he delayed this appointment for Tuesday. Instead, Dad rested his back while working in bed. Mom went to get him a different sitting chair, one that doesn't roll and has a straight back. She wasn't gone long, but Dad got lonely---he's not use to being by himself since all of this happened. Just call him the Lonely boy.
Tuesday Dad was able to get some work done. The blasted Physical therapist came back today. Dad got the lengthy workout again- was he thrilled about it, no, but he did it anyway. He did get a chance to rest his back and worked up the courage to sit in his new chair. New furniture worries him, since he isn't sure how his body will tolerate it and how easily he will be able to get in and out of it. We were hoping with a new chair he would be able to sit further back and let his legs rest a little, but he is still working on this.
The great news is his blood pressure and blood sugars have been great. Now we just need to work on his strength and his back so that he can float like a butterfly and sting like a bee! He can't wait to tell you all when he is starting to kick this thing's butt!
