Ken decided to wait and see for now. The doctor could not evoke pain where the fx is so he couldn't guarantee the procedure would fix the problem. He said Ken needed to walk more to ease muscle spasms and use a heating pad. Also a whirlpool tub but we don't have one. Today was his last radiation treatment yeah! He starts chemo back up on he 13th so he has a little break. I am going to try and build him up a little if I can. This has been a long road made easier by all your prayers and support. |
Patti you both are in my thoughts and prayers, Thanks to Dear Connie in telling me how to make a substitute for heating pad, I filled several of Jack's stretchy socks with a bit of rice tied knot at the ankle of sock, and then micro wave one minute, it is great due to the fact he is unable to use the heating pad, the socks are great as they are flexible.
Lifting you both in our prayers, sending hug from us both.
Patti and Jack
