WHAT SUPERBOWL?

Sleeping seemed to be the priority of the day ,even during an event that had been much anticipated in former years. Our Knight, this year, neither cared who was playing nor who was winning. The chemo treatment on Friday had taken its' course...fatigue was the order of the day.
He had watched short segments of the game and sat for a long period in his recliner which gives him comfort for an hour or so at the time. That being as it was we all gave thanks for his rest, free of the nausea which so often accompanies the chemo treatments. We count our blessings, however small.
Monday was a dark day in many ways, but the sleep came still for hours at the time. However, during the waking times Howard ate and drank much more food and liquid...another good thing.
Reading on the bottles of Ensure that it helps build muscle has helped him develop a taste for the nutruitional drink. He has them in all flavors and we are encouraging just as much water as he can tolerate. His hunger comes from the motivation of building strength. He has been very concerned through these weeks that he has lost his strength and his muscle tone....things that were vitally important to him through the years. During this entire process we see that his wonderful sense of humor is still in tact. While we were still at Medical Center days ago, a very excellent nurse was giving him a sponge bath while he was standing. Suddenly as she was bathing his back side...he remarked: " I worked my butt off several years ago. I knew you would be wondering what happened to it! "
Today is bright and sunny and we kept our appointment with the neuro surgeon at Medical Center for a consultation. He will work with the radiologic oncologist who will perform the stereotactic radiotherapy on the brain lesion next week. We will see what transpires as the FLOW continues for our gallant Knight
Today is a brighter day in many ways. We will take them as they come.
Know that we LOVE you all so dearly...more news soon..
