Linda's Lymphoma update 6-10-11

Three steps forward and 2.9 steps back...

Linda had a wonderful day at home on Thursday. She was getting stronger, eating rather well and basically in minimal pain.

Today at noon, her pain in the right leg and abdomen returned with a vengeance and by 10:00pm was back to a 10 on a 1-10 scale despite maximum doses of narcotics.

We had to call the docotor and get her directly admitted again for pain relief. She's in room 3037 at Bayshore Medical Center.

She is so disappointed not to be home for the weekend as she was looking forward to it.

All is not a waste of time however, as her blood work on Thursday showed she was able to have the next course of chemo (5 days in hospital), and that was scheduled for Monday. So we will save some time and begin it this weekend, so she'll be home hopefully by next weekend.

I was planning to have her write this entry on her blog...but not to be.

Thanks Jill for your help with Linda at home on Wednesday and Thursday.

Thanks again to all for cards, comments and especially prayers.
