Today proved to be a rather easy day. We ventured out to Walgreen's for those special socks to help with the circulation in his legs. Also ran into Fred Meyer for a few minutes. The trip out felt good for both of us but caused great pain for Sam getting in and out of the truck. Slowly we are developing a routine of how to travel with the wheelchair and oxygen. We are both so grateful he does want to get out in the fresh air.
Late last night we discussed what the most important thing is right now and decided it is the pain in his hips, pelvis and leg from the cancer. The pain is so great, Sam struggles to manage it with the pain meds. When we meet with the oncologist on Tuesday, that will be the focus of our discussion - or at least that is the game plan today.
Tomorrow I will be going into the office for a couple hours in the morning. That will be a challenge probably more for me than Sam as I will be worrying constantly about any issues he might have, such as twisting the oxygen tube around the wheelchair. Oh boy!
And in case anyone is wondering, I am a member of the best book club ever.
