Well, apparently, I need to keep the masses informed, so I'll blog for you all just so you know.
Jim is in Magee's nursing home rehab, as you know he can't come home because of me and him.
This morning, Jim's blood numbers have once again tanked. The big muckity muck of blood for the Hillman Cancer Center came to see him. Jim's biopsy came back negative, but there just isn't any understanding as to why his immune system keeps tanking. The prednisone should be out of his system by now. So anyway, he is back in isolation. I thought he was coming home.
I may need knee surgery, so I'll keep you abreast of that, as well.

Different year, same situation.
Well, it's been a year since I've posted, and Jim's in the hospital like last year at this time, w/ another blood related issue.
Well, doctors have been talking for 5 days and finally have come w/ a plan. They've been running a myriad of blood tests. They can't do a PET scan in patient, so they are doing a bone marrow biopsy, looking for cancer again. They did a CT scan last night. Today is the biopsy. After that, they are going to do a spinal tap to look at this spinal fluid. (scary)
Jim continues to be in extreme pain, numbness, unable to walk, but his spirits are still not defeated.
He just called. His biopsy is at 12:00. He asks for your prayers of course.
On my end, I'm not sure what I did, but my knee has water on it, and I'm having a hard time getting around, and it keeps on clicking, and I can't walk too well, either. My spirits, well...next subject. My PSTD has really been heightened lately. And Rio sits here looking at me like, "Hey, throw the darn ball."
I need to call Orthopedics, but I really just want to hide under the covers and let the world fade away. Every time I try that tho, it's still there. But My Jesus is still there too. He refuses to leave. Thanks friend.
