Tuesday, August 7, 2012, I had my second injection of spheres to my liver lesions. This went smoothly and they have a wonderful team at Fairfax Hospital for radiation therapy. The prep and recovery take about 2/3 of the 4.5 to 5 hour period that you are at the hospital. You're in la la land, not caring what they do to you, being neither fully asleep or fully awake. I had no pain this time even after I got home. I had one bout with nausea but it settled quickly, as opposed to 5 times having an upset stomach last time. This is to be the last radiation injection. I go for an office visit in about a month, then schedule a PET scan probably mid October.
August 21 I go to my orthopedist to have my right knee checked. I'm still wearing a brace and using a walker. It seems to be better and hopefully I can get a smaller brace. This brace has kept me from falling but it is heavy and makes me tired.
All in all I feel OK. I have an abundance of reasons for feeling tired so I just do whatever I can and don't worry about the rest! Hampton continues to be a good caregiver. He, our 2 grandsons, and David are in WV this weekend. They're attending West Virginia Baptist Men and Boys' Camp at the WV Baptist Camp in Cowen, WV. Making good Memories!
Prayerfully,
Mary Barbara Kirk Hoge
Yesterday in Jeremiah 1:5 I read: "God has a holy purpose designed for you."
