Life In General
Well it's been so long since I've journaled I thought it was abt time in case there are a few of my friends who might be wondering whats up.
Hubby had his post treatment check after the pneumonia. Doc says all seems well but he wants to do an x-ray in May sometime to be double sure all has completely cleared.
Hubby had his 1st post prostate cancer treatment check. This is done at the 3 month stage. Get this - at the time of treatment his PSA was 11.9. Now 3 months later the PSA level was 2.9. We were totally floored. We had both thought that if it was 7 or 8 we were going to be very happy but never expected this.
Also in the same wk he had his cardio pulmonary work thru. I was not really sure what I was expecting but I think he was half expecting that they were going to tell him it was oxygen time & he was readying himself for this stage in life. As it turns out his blood oxygen level is 90% which our dr said is still a long away fr oxygen being needed. He did encourage him to continue to stay active & keep up swimming as this helps to stimulate oxygen thru the body but to of course pace himself according to what his body is telling him,
Well I tell you, 2 miracles like this in a week I had to take a moment to thank our Lord but somehow I felt like I couldn't thank him enough or couldn't think of how to thank him appropriately.
I'm doing pretty good most of the time. I'm blessed with not many pain issues lately but my usual irregular sleep patterns have been interfering with some days to a point but I'm too stubborn to let it win over me.
I did have an eye appt recently & was pleased when my dr reported that the pressure behind my eyes was at, I think, he said 18 & that two yrs ago it was at 20. He was very pleased with that number. At least I think I got these numbers right. I never think of writing it down till way after the fact. BUT I do know the results were very good.
I could of sworn there was something else that I felt was important & wanted to document but can't for the life of me remember what it was so I'll sign off for now & wait for it to come to me say in the middle of the night. Lupus forgetfullness maybe, hmm, never thought of that, does anyone else have that happen.
