Ups & Downs

Getting pushed down is beginning to seem like a routine these days.  This week has definitely had it's ups and downs.  I am feeling guilty I wasn't there for my folks today.  Mom, Dad and Grandma went to Wenatchee today to meet with the radiation oncologist.  It seems that the MRI dad had on Wednesday is now showing that whatever this monster is that is growing inside of him is traveling at the speed of light.  He is now showing spots in both hips.  Keep in mind that we found out about this whole mess less than 20 days ago.  Radiation will now hit both hips and esophagus all at the same time.  The left femur and spine are still included in there somewhere.  Not sure if they will take treatments alone or if they will be included with the other parts of the body. Either way they need to get this treatment started, cause the way I see it, it's on a mad path of destruction. 

I have been asked quite a bit about how dad is doing with all of this.  For those of you that know him, know, that when it comes to bad luck he pretty much rolls with the punches.  When he is with me I see no change in his mental state.  He continues to just be dad.  I also know that people are afraid to call or stop by.  Please don't be afraid.  He is not in bed, he is not sick nor does he look sick.  His only complaint is that mom is keeping him restricted to "in sight" status.  No garage, No power tools, No working whats so ever.  I do believe if she had her way he would be duck taped with bubble wrap.  Do you think that would be considered spousal abuse?  Thank god for the western channel because that is his best friend.  lol
