How's everything with you Mike? How is your dad doing?
I'm good...adjusting to a pay cut about a month ago..running da roads hard..keeping myself happy..being there for michele and her daughters when needed..some golf, getting along with Kim..enjoying Caleigh...we are potty training..WOOO HOOOO...well Caleigh is potty training... not me..
Dad is doing OK..a day of real weakness last week..and showing some symptoms of the tumor either coming back or some brain swelling going on..they had taken him off steriods when he started radiation/chemo but decided to put him back on after this last episode..so now he is back to normal for a soon to be 84 year old man...
a hijack here Tim...WT--he is showing no real signs of any side effects of the Rad/chemo pill...he is loosing some hair but it's slow....he is complaining of some vision problems so we are figuring that some of the tumor fingers are progressing into the vision center of his brain which may lead to decreased or total vision loss at some time...the neuro had said that some of the tumor had moved into that area...he goes for Rad. every day at 1:10 and has not missed a treatment..then he and mom go eat sometimes..he gets out about 2 times a week with the local guys at a restaurant to sit and bullchitt...he's on a walker now which is a little different but I think it makes him feel really safe..he has a fear of falling now..
I think he's in really good shape now with the prognosis he has...I think my sisters beg to differ at times..but from where I am things look good with him...I figure he could be in a bed..but he's up, mobile, in pretty good spirits...he talks a lot about heaven, the bible and religious stuff which is very unusual for him and out of character..but maybe in the end that's what we will all do??
