Terry had radiation to her brain and for the first time to her shoulder. That all went okay except for the pain she endured by laying flat for 30 minutes. From now on it will be Vicodan to the rescue whenever she is scheduled for radiation longer than 10-15 minutes.
The final insult of 2011 came when the Radiation Oncologist was worried about a few symptoms Terry was showing. To be safe he sent her to the Emergency Room to have some tests run. He was afraid she might need a transfusion or admission to the hospital. She spent a total of 1 hour at radiation and 3 hours at the ER. The good news is that her tests were all normal and she was sent home. She was beat after the long day.
A friend of ours, Doug Morrow, sent us an adage yesterday, "Don't ask God for anything until you have thanked Him for 20 things." Terry and I have been married for over 17,000 days. Dear Lord thank you for each and every one of those days. I only ask for one thing. That Terry is pain free and has a much better life in 2012 than she has had for the past 3 years with multiple myeloma. Please God, please.
