Clara,
Thanks for asking about Angelo...he is doing ok...this week finishing up Radiation, getting blood work, bone scan, and setting up "Hopefully" for the quadramet injection next week...
The Radiation has helped tremendously...it is 9:40 AM and he hasn't taken any "breakthough" medication since midnight last night...he does have the fentanyl 75 patch on...it seems to be taking care of the pain...
He did get a small sore on his back (the beginning of a bedsore) during the 20 days he spent in the hospital. We have been treating it with a duroderm patch and I think we have it under control, and it is healing as it should.
We did have an issue last night, Angelo woke from a dream, and thought he couldn't breathe...I checked his blood pressure, and it was right on the money 120/80. He wasn't having any trouble once he woke up, and we sat together talking for about an hour...he said that in the dream he was being buried alive...(how scary) He is resting now and I won't wake him until we have to leave for radiation.
Take care of yourself Clara...and enjoy the beach
With Love,
Karen
