Dad had a pretty good day. They got him up to walk a few steps - very tough. They're giving him some blood that was lost in the operation which should give him more energy and tomorrow they will take him down to rehabilitation for more exercises. Waiting to hear from the radiologist about the strontium shot. Apparently he's giving dad some recuperation time before talking to us about this, but it's still on the table. Hopefully what this shot will do is lessen the pain and therefore lessen the need to consume so much morphine, hopefully reducing the lazy bowels syndrome. We're back to the idea of not doing chemotherapy when we get home.
I'm guessing, but I think we'll be here another week to 10 days
