One Step Forward Three Steps Back

This past week has been really bad for Kev. The fatigue and discomfort that started on Saturday continued through the week. Kev did little else than lay in bed – he didn’t eat; he didn’t read; he barely spoke – only enough to tell us that he was “just fine”. To me “just fine” usually looks a little different than what I was observing and on Thursday he finally went to see his Dr, receiving an Rx for steroids – 6 mg/day. The neurosurgeon explained that the surgery had been very invasive (much more so than the previous two brain surgeries) and a slow recovery is to be expected. The steroids are starting to kick in and Kev’s been getting out of bed occasionally, watching TV, reading and eating. I think he is on the mend finally. Thursday he goes in to see his oncologist to discuss the next phase of treatments.
