In the Ebert house we start each day with Citrical. C for citrus cal for calcium. Citrical. Page 2.
As we visited the doc yesterday, included in that joy were 6 Xrays and blood work, we ventured to the unknown. We had no idea how the day would go. I was scheduled for chemo. My walking due to my hip proved "exciting". Did I need a wheel chair to get around? How best to control the pain. Can I get a drug to calm be down when things get a little much. And what do I do with work with this stuff going on. And now the rest of the story.
The recommendation was to get radiation in the hip. And while I was at it they were going to zap the left shoulder. On one hand I am thinking good, the pain is gone. My walking will be back to normal. On the other hand the time spent with all of this was about a month. Get an appointment with the doc, participate in the planning, 1 round of xrays and 10 sessions of getting zapped. A ton of effort but worth it.
Well I know people are praying for me. So try this on for size.....I got a same day appt with the doc. They did the planning that Day. I get treated Friday just one big zap instead of 10 smaller ones and I should begin to walk normal shortly after, pain free.
I was able to pick up a prescription for Xanax. That will help.....I have had anxiety. And to refer to my previous post, Deanna was with me all day Monday. Tiffany let her take the day. Brother Jim has Friday. The support has been awesome.
And now you know the rest of the story.
