He continued to have pain over the next few days and it was increasing as time went by. He was taking extra pain medication to help control the pain, but it wasn't working too well. He stuck it out until today, when he was scheduled for a chemo treatment.
When we met with the doctor, John couldn't even left his left arm up to his waist and had to have help getting up and down from his chair. The doctor said he had symptoms of a blood clot in his lung and they pretty quickly admitted him into the hospital for a CT Scan with an IV.
About 7:00 PM they did the procedure and by the time he returned to the room, we were told the results would not be in until the morning. So, that is what we will be anxious to hear about tomorrow.
If there is no blood clot, I don't intend on leaving the hospital without some answers about what this pain is about and how to control it. And how to help move him without hurting him.
We don't know if or when he will have another treatment, but we keep our hopes up that things will be put into play to get him the relief he needs, to keep his diabetes under control and move on with the treatment, until we can have another scan toward the end of the year and then we will know more about just what we have to deal with yet. We are not thinking beyond each day, which is full of faith and hope.
We are amazed at the continued support we have, for those that have offered to help in any way they can and with things we may need. A lot of service has been done, without us knowing who was doing the good deed.
Thank you so much. We love you all.
