The weekend...

On Friday, Ralph's pain made it impossible for him to lay flat for the radiologist to mark him for radiation to his rib. He went to bed at 6pm, that night. Saturday morning, he found more energy and came to breakfast with me, the Cataldo's, and Jan. Afterwards, we met Megan at my parents', and went to Dick's. The outing must have really worn him out because he went to bed at 4PM and didn't come downstairs until 7AM. He was told to start taking his break-through pain medication on Sunday, and he did. Perhaps that was the reason he was so antsy all day. He found it difficult to sit still or stop talking when Megan and Nathan came for dinner and when Jim and Sue stopped by. PITT probably heard him coaching! Hopefully, tomorrow brings him relief with radiation.
