Valentine's Weekend...

Ralph's lower back is hurting and he has an obvious limp. We are hoping that it is from the bone strengthening medicine. We were able to eat at Angelo's on Friday night. Ralph had every intention of going into the office on Saturday afternoon, but as the day progressed, so did his back pain and pain from constipation. Saturday was a very uncomfortable day for Ralph, and he had a horrific night. At 6:00AM, the doctor recommended an enema and magnesium citrate. Fortunately, Ralph found some relief, and we did not need to go to the hospital. Tomorrow, he gets blood work and has another chemo treatment. Hopefully, he will get answers to why his back hurts and a prescription for relief. Michael, Erin, Megan, and Nathan came for dinner (They cooked.). Ralph was not able to join us for dinner but enjoyed the kids visiting. After they left, he ventured downstairs and wanted to eat. His back pain seemed less, and he no longer felt constipated from medications.
