Dear Family and Close Friends,
Today has been a good day, but also exhausting. We saw the Radiation Oncologist who will be
directing my care and have made appointments with the Medial Oncologist who
will be administering the chemo. The
radiation schedule has been set (beginning Jan. 23 : ( ) and the preliminary CAT scan has been
done.. In addition the mask that will be
used to guide the ;aim of the “gun” has been made. Lots of q and a, and we really like the
rad/onc.
On the other end, we have gotten a lot more info about the
blackout event and subsequent issues from last weekend.
The event was seemingly triggered by something called SIADH,
you’ll have to look it up, but its not unusual following brain events such as
surgery. The high protein, high salt
diet seems to be helping, but weekly blood work will be done to confirm. That and getting my weight up, I’m about 10
pounds low right now, should be a big help.
The biggest problem frankly has been a bad contusion
probably on my left pelvic bone from the fall.
It has gotten progressively worse throughout the week, but learning
today that there was not a break is a great relief. I cannot sit, and standing is not for very
long, but I’m hopeful that a weekend of NFL will help effect an improvement.
