Dexamethasone – The Wonder Drug

The steroids definitely helped. Kevin was even able to start back at work last Monday. He is still moving slow, has headaches and is easily fatigued, but his appetite is back. Since the surgery, his hip seems to be bothering him more as is the neuropathy.

He had an appointment with the oncologist last Thursday that was a total bust – drive an hour, wait for 2 hrs since appointments are running late, Dr informs him that he can’t start treatment until 28 days post surgery, make a new appt and drive an hour back home…

Tonight we had an awesome sighting. The ATV, International Space Station and Space Shuttle all passed overhead within minutes of each other. (ATV is an ESA transfer vehicle
http://www.esa.int/esaMI/ATV/index.html that is preparing to dock to Station early next month). The ISS is by far the brightest thing in the sky and seeing it proceeded by ATV and followed by the Shuttle was way cool!
