It was indeed a long weekend. Pain from the hips and across the back was not being contained by the medication. IW had not slept well for quite a few days and the lack of sleep and pain was making her life a real misery. A phone call to the Oncologist on Sunday led AMandIW to the Emergency Ward at the Mater Hospital, there we spent about 5 hours being attended to by some great medical people.
IW was put on a drip and it was not long before the pain subsided and she slipped into a deep sleep. They prescribed some stronger medication for pain and sleep and off we went home.
Sunday night saw the best sleep for quite a while and a refreshed and renewed IW ready to face her first session of radiotherapy this morning.
A 40 minute session and we were done and heading home for IW to rest. Another four sessions this week and three next week to complete the course then wait for the signs of healing.
Thanks for all the messages from near and far, from friends of long standing here at home to our extended family in Puyallup and Grand Rapids.
Sorry for our lack of personal replies to you wonderful people
