Sleepy daze

Kev has been feeling pretty good. The pain problems are definitely under control. He has had to use very little of his “break-through” pain meds – the regular methadone doses are working well. He is still taking everything else – Celebrex (anti-inflamatory), Dexamethesone (steroids), Reglan (anti-nausea), Protonix (acid reflux), Lyrica (nerve pain), Senekot (laxative) and Temador (chemo) – at least through the end of the month when we go back to get an MRI of the spine and see the oncologist again. One area of concern though is that he is having problems with loss of sensation in his left leg. The other night when he was walking he fell over because of it. So Nick pulled his walker (from hip replacement days, 1 ½ years ago) out of storage and now he is using that instead of the cane.

He has definitely enjoyed his visitors this week and the meals are fabulous! It has been a huge help – Thank you all very much! Kev has been eating pretty well and getting lots of rest - even sleeping well through the night recently. He is not moving aroung much so I am going to try to get him outside this weekend – the weather should be beautiful.
