Today is Day #2 of chemo--the effects of yesterday's treatment are becoming increasingly evident. LeeR was exhausted when we got home last night but nothing like today. It's nice for me to see him sleeping so well and so long for a change, but it's also a reminder that our lives are forever changed.
The ultrasound and the x-rays yesterday didn't show any blood pooling in LeeR's leg. He still has the incredibly large bruise-like thing on his thigh. We see the surgeon at 1:30 today and hope he has some answers for us. Hopefully we'll be able to start the blood thinners again after we see him.
Thankfully, we have found that having LeeR take the morphine every six hours keeps his pain under control. What a blessing that is--it breaks my heart to see him writhing in pain. So sad.
We're hoping for a quiet, uneventful weekend with few side effects from this week's treatments. LeeR says he's not going to have any of the side effects of the chemo. That's good to know.
AMEN TO THAT--WE ARE SO BLESSED!
Thanks for keeping us updated. We're all thinking of you and your family and sending lots of happy, healing thoughts your way.
