Ralph had a better week after a horrific Valentine's weekend. He still is troubled by lower back pain, but the doctors did not seemed too concerned. If it does not subside, they will order an X-Ray, but they seem to think it is an effect of the shots given to boost his white blood cell count.
This week, Ralph was able to, briefly, go out of the house, with his brother, to get fresh air and to finish a little paperwork. He feels best when he is moving. After his third IV chemo treatment on Thursday, he was quite anxious. He had a difficult time sitting still and talked unceasingly. On Friday, he found more peace. Ralph ventured out on Saturday afternoon alone. He drove to the mall and to a friend's house for lunch. That pretty much wore him out for the rest of the afternoon and evening. Hopefully, he will find more energy and less pain, today. Tomorrow, he finishes his first round of IV chemo and will have 2 weeks off.
Again, prayers and good thoughts are much appreciated. Thank you for caring and for your support!
