12/09/09

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't been able to blog in so long but Dave has been having a hard time. The last month has been crazy. Dave has been in terrible pain in his legs and back. We have been to his oncologist and she has given him new medicine. The new stuff puts him to sleep when he takes it correctly. He is on something for the pain from his chemo and that pretty much is under control. We have started his brain radiation and will be done this Friday. So far I think that has been ok. We had an MRI of his spine done last week and had GOOD NEWS that there was NO tumor on his spine but they can see the compression on his vertebrae and that is what is causing a lot of his pain. WE have been seeing an acupuncture DR. and he helped him a bit. We have seen the chiropractor twice this week and she is coming by the house tomorrow. She feels the drive to her office is adding to his pain.Dave has decided that the more pain medicine he takes the better he will be, something about if I can have 3 a day then why can't I take all 3 at the same time. ! This has really gotten out of control and I fear that next he will need to go through a detox program. I think you all know how hard headed Dave can be.!!! Dave is due to have another MRI done on Friday for his hip. Please keep us in your prayers. I know that with God in your life anything is possible but without him nothing is. Talk to you soon, Dave and Julie

    Hey Uncle Dave, Hang in there, things will get better. AND WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING WANTING TO TAKE 3 AT A TIME. Yes I'm yelling at you and you would me too because we care. TAKE AS PRESCRIBED!!! There's a reason for that quote on medicine bottles.
    How many times has somebody told you to “think positively”? Easier said than done, right? But this truly can make a difference in your life. Focus on the good, and learn from the bad. You have the freedom and ability to choose your own attitude. What will you choose? Enthusiasm can carry you through a lot more than you think. Never just be satisfied with what you have, but keep working to achieve more. Set specific goals and work for them. After you have accomplished them, set new ones. Keep working to make yourself a better person. We are all behind you every step of the way. If I could take all your pain away I would in a heart beat. Please be patient and don't be foolish.
