Its hot here , 40C with the humidex, its dry and parched with pollution rising as a horrible brown haze in Toronto . Its quite unpleasant and if there was a good week to stay indoors during the summer, this might just be the week . I spoke to Doug by phone (he's back in Burlington) and apparently mum insisted that he "leave" her behind at the Doubletree so that he can get his foot attended . He mentioned to me that mum now refers to Decadron as that "horrible pill" and it makes her quite unsettled by the time the afternoon rolls around . Apparently the radiation is going well and mum has now started at the Lymphedema clinic at the hospital and they feel that they might be able reduce the swelling on her arm by 60% . Lets hope they can do something because the swelling has got significantly worse and combined with the pins and needles and weakness in her right arm and hand, it makes her less able to use the limb . This is obviously a concern.
I'd like to press the "fast forward" button on this week ...can we just get it over with ? Can a magic fairy come and finish packing my house ? Can Doug get his MRI on his foot? Can mum get through her first week of radiation ? Can we have good results ? I'm back to that impatient mode again ..... I just need to breathe calmly and get through it all .....
