Update re Vicki... 3rd radiation treatment today. Pathology sent the biopsy specimen out for further testing, to determine what treatment plan will work to kill the cancer cells. Radiation appears to be working to alleviate the pain. Therapists came in to help start to get arm and leg working again. Miss independent fell again last night after I left, trying to get to the bathroom on her own. Needless to say, she received counseling in this regard from me and the medical staff. She now has a bed monitor so the nurses will know when she gets out of bed. We are both so very grateful for all the prayers and well wishes. Jim

Thanks for another update. I know it's hard on you both. Also wondering how the cats are dealing with Vicki's absence.

I can’t help but understand what Vicki is feeling and why she is trying to be independent. I am doing the same thing and driving my hubby nuts. It sounds like you and the medical staff are taking super care of her. Please tell her, we want her to behave and get better. Our prayers continue and that includes you. We want you to take care of yourself. My hubby and I know how hard this is on you too.

Thank you Jim for the updates... prayers are still coming your way for both of you. Yes I believe miss independent tried to get up on her own... We all think we can do it without help. Glad the pain is getting better. Give her a hug from all of us. HUGS Suzanne

So glad about less pain. I'm counting on that you are both very strong people - look what you've done in building and furnishing and landscaping this new house in the last few months. I'm hopeful that most of all that is finished, so when she gets home she can pretend to relax, rest, recover, recuperate and return to her old self (less the pain and lymphoma, of course.) She will be a new person, with new viewpoint on life. Praying for the little details in her care tonight.

Hi Jim. I am glad that the radiation is helping her pain. I think Vicki needed a little more then counselling for being so independent 😊. This is not the time for that. I hope she did not get hurt with her fall. I am sending a virtual hug and love to Vicki. Do not forget to take care of yourself and once again thanks for keeping us informed.
