Only thing still hurting is my back & it's easing off somewhat. Those first few days were rough though... I'd end up curled up on the couch in tears by the end of the day....

(Background here: I badly injured my back in "the motorcycle incident" almost 40 years ago. Don't know what exactly it did because we had no insurance & couldn't afford for me to go to the doctor but I couldn't even pick up a gallon of milk without screaming for over 6 months... It was BAD. And it seems that I've developed arthritis now in that same area so jarring it as bad as I did Saturday really set it off.)

If y'all don't hear from me for a while though, I may be in jail. He's having all kinds of issues & his frickin' useless oncologist at UK keeps blowing everything off. We're pretty sure he's broken another rib so I pushed & pushed until she agreed to a chest x ray. She claims that everything was normal but when I looked up the results online, he's actually got a partially collapsed lung!!!!! And she didn't even mention it. She also blew off the extreme anemia that he's still experiencing. And the blood oxygen readings that are dropping like crazy due to the anemia.

And the worst part is that UK won't let us change hs doctor and the ONLY renal cell carcinoma oncologists in Kentucky are at UK. AAAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!!

Gotta run. Fixing grape salad and bourbon pecan bread pudding for the club tonight. It's our Christmas dinner AND officer elections. We'll probalby have 50-60 people to feed....
