Gee, I do believe that this is the longest amount of time that I have not communicated any news about our friend. And it's mainly because there isn't too much to tell. Tuesday he went to the Cancer Center and had his catheter taken out and a Chemo port put in. Which does mean that Chemo isn't over yet. He also had some x-rays and some blood tests done. I have been waiting on the results of some of those tests to update you on his progress and as of today, he hasn't heard too much. His Mom took him in to have a Procrit injection today, and one of the nurses told them that 'his numbers' look pretty good. So, there must be some results to share that he will get from Dr. Anamur next Tuesday when he and Kathy go in. He is still in some pain and is starting to ask more questions regarding that. Hopefully, the Docs can come up with some answers. If you know Dave, you know that he doesn't want to take the 'pain meds'. But when he does, he is 'wicked' funny all drugged up. What a hoot!!
He is, for the most part, trying to stay positive. Some days are harder than others. I believe that he is still exercising a little bit though. I know that he misses his social interactions with everyone, but it is hard to know if it's okay to call. He does take 'naps'. Moe called him the other day to chat about work and he really did enjoy it.
I hope we can all get together on March 31st and create the 'human connection' that has helped him through this healing process and that he misses so much. Bobbie and friends are getting a 'live video feed' together so that Dave can join us via technology. It's destined to be a great night.
Keep a happy thought,
Marilyn
