Went by to see Dad this morning, which was good. He was really having a lot of light headedness and his right wrist ached as well as his left knee. They just felt sprained and stiff, he said. Overall, he felt a little better than yesterday on the pain front (with some help from oxycodone), but was worse on the light headedness.
The nurses wanted him to take his blood pressure lying down and then standing. He did fine laying, but standing was impossible. He couldn't stand long enough for the blood pressure cuff to do it's thing. Then he kind of collapsed back into his pillow on his side - just dizzy and weak.
Don't know what that is all about. I am hoping by later this afternoon, some of that subsided - sometimes it does.
He ate a good breakfast while I was there and then Ethan and my Mom came, so we all visited. He was in good spirits.
His blood results yesterday showed no change. Remember, we're waiting for his counts to start coming back up.
Just want to send a quick note to my friends in the Thompson and Shriner Families who just lost a Dad to Kidney Cancer on Saturday evening. It was a long journey for all of them. My deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences go out to you right now and as always, you'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
