The neurologist wants ANOTHER MRI to be clear as to where he is going to cast Ralph's back. This is a 2 hour MRI, and Ralph is not happy. HE HATES THEM!!! His shoulder still bothers him, and when he coughs, his ribs have discomfort. I cannot believe that these discomforts are anything but the effects of the myeloma....fractures in his bones.
We had a nice time at the wedding! Ralph enjoyed talking to old friends and acquaintances. He became emotional when Maggie danced with John to "I Loved Her First". Pain pills kept his back from annoying him, and his anxiety was kept to a minimum.
On Saturday, Mallory, Ralph, and I went to breakfast, then he joined Lynnie, AJ, and Jim at a little league baseball tournament.
This morning, Ralph had a difficult time getting out of bed. He is feeling sorry for himself and, at the same time, guilty because he knows his blessings. We have not ridden the emotional roller-coaster for a long time, it seems. Hopefully, we will ride it out today, and tomorrow we will feel renewed with more strength.
