Haven't posted for awhile cause there is not much to post.
Of course I follow up on all of my cyber friends here every day. It seems we have had too much bad news in the last few weeks. Come on doctors and researchers let's get moving.
Earl is just shuffling along. Some days are good, some days not so good. Fatigue just will not seem to go away. His balance is crappe (that's French for crappy) He staggers a lot and shuffles his feet when he walks, which he does at snails pace. His concentration is the pits.
His last chemo was 7/14. Am I expecting too much that he should be improving faster? A lot of the times it is like he is a different person, although sometimes he is the old Earl. Sometimes he appears to be off in another world even when you are sitting across the table from him. Is this from the whole brain radiation? the chemo? the surgeries? the psychological impact of this disease?
We don't discuss the disease too much, he doesn't want to. He also doesn't ask the drs many, if any, questions. Somebody asked him last week if he was afraid (sensitive friend this guy). Earl answered emphatically NO - that he was cured of the lc.
There probably are no answers. My heart just aches for him. He is a very, very smart and vital man and I hope that man is still lurking inside of him.
Love, prayers and good wishes to all of my buddies.
