Still hurting but good news??? Such a teaser!

Wednesday and Thursday were fairly benign except for the fact that Dad is still very sore and tender on his back. The physical therapist again worked him out really hard and warned him he would hurt. He is still doing his daily exercises and walking to and from the mailbox outside. Thursday he waiting for the physical therapist to show up so that he could exercise and then go vote. They waited and waited, but he was late. Instead Dad decided to do his exercises himself and while they were walking outside the physical therapist called. Since they had waited so long Dad was too tired to try and vote.

Friday starts Dad's second round of chemo. He has a 10 AM appointment, where they will repeat labs, give him his bone strengthening medication and chemo. I expect it will be a long day.

As for the teaser...Dr. Kazhdan called Dad on Thursday and said she had some good news! She wouldn't divulge the information on the phone and said she would tell us in the office when he gets his chemo. Is this the answer we have been praying for?? She did draw lots of labs on him, did they show an improvement meaning we are kicking this thing in the butt??? Don't know. Stay tuned!
