Well, what with one thing and another . . .
My husband broke his right wrist on March 29. Since he's left-handed it is not QUITE as much of a nuisance as it could be, but it's still a major pain the the butt. He'll have the cast on until mid-May. He can't do much in the way of work. That is, he can do less than before. :( However, he's still doing what he can. The broken wrist was not due to his illness, one of the farm machines had a steering failure that caused my husband's hand to smack very hard into a wall.
He also had to have a blood transfusion last Friday, April 9. He may have a bleeding ulcer, due to the various strong meds he's on. He got so pale and weak! His red cell count was dangerously low. And had one episode of vomiting blood. So he's on a drug to deal with that. And, besides, the low blood count could be from cancer in the bone marrow, although at this point the Dr. thinks not. He needs to have an X-Ray of the G I tract. *sigh*
However, the Gabapentin does seem to be helping with the hot flashes. And it's playoff hockey time, with our Vancouver Canucks in the hunt for the Stanley Cup.
