It’s been kind of rough around here for the last 10 days or so.  Hubby has been in excruciating pain and he started his third round of chemo Wednesday.  I wasn’t sure if we were going to get him to the office for his treatment Wednesday and Thursday because he was hurting so bad he couldn’t get dressed.  Today was a much better day and he only hurt for a few minutes while getting dressed. 

We are still having trouble getting him medication to control his pain.  I swear he has tried so many medications and the doctor is puzzled that they are making him hurt rather than take away his pain.  In Hubby’s typical sense of humor he says that they have them named right-pain pills, what he needs is some painless pills.  They changed his pain med’s again on Thursday and they seem to be helping.  If these don’t work then they will have to refer him to the pain management clinic.  Cross your fingers that his new med’s continue to work.

Hubby and I were guessing how much weight he had lost this time.  Hubby said he probably weighed 170 pounds and I said 160 pounds.  He weighed a whopping 159.3 pounds.  He weighed 205 pounds on Christmas eve and 177.6 pounds on February 9.  He’s slowly wasting away to nothing.  He 5’11 and at 159 pounds he looks like a bag of bones.  His legs are skinny toothpicks and you can see his ribs.  It’s really heart breaking to see how he’s gone down hill  in two months time. 

Sorry I haven’t been posting as normal.  My med’s are helping me cope with all of this to an extent.  When it’s really bad I just can’t seem to get motivated to post.  I’m really tired of posting so much gloom and doom and would just like for there to be some happiness around here to write about.
