CT Scan Results

Still have not been posted and no doctor bothered to follow up with us. I had Chad call the doctor to see if they could get any information because Chad has not been well for a couple days.

He is having really bad cramping and vomiting as a result. However - results are ALL CLEAR! It's been just over three years since that fateful day and while the fear of recurrence isn't in your face AS much, it's still there and it rear's its ugly head from time to time. Especially when symptons that could be linked to cancer show up in folds.

But for now, we go on living for another six months. :)

The meeting at his work did not go well and they will still not approve him to return to work. The Orthopedic Surgeon is out until Tuesday so we cannot even get back in to see them. It's beyond frustrating because A) He has had no income for months and God knows when they'll let him back and B) He needs to get out of the house. For both our sake! HA HA!


As always, with much love and gratitude -  I thank you for your support and prayers <3

Grrr - Delays

A couple quick things of note.

Chad had a CT Scan on Friday. He gets them every 6 months. The results are still not posted for those. We are, as always, praying that he remains cancer free. He also had blood work done but they didn't run the tumor marker tests. I swear these doctors and nurses are new and can't keep their patient requirements straight. It's kind of frustrating.

We were hoping Chad would've returned to work this week but they denied it due to the restrictions the surgeon put on him (for his knee), He's been following up with it and his work is going to have a meeting today to see if there's anything they can do. God willing.

He is still having pain and stiffness. His recovery has gone well but we know this is going to be a long road for rehabilitation.

I'll update again once I get some more news!

Thanks for the love and support!

Back To Work - Soon

I neglected to post a blog update about Chad's most recent visit with the Orthopedic Surgeon. Everything went very well. They took new X-Rays and everything looks the same (it was explained that that is a GOOD thing). He was instructed to continue not putting any weight on his knee for another two weeks. This is laughable because he's been walking for weeks now.

The lady said, that is what she has to put on paper but when I explained what he had been doing already, she told us to keep doing what he's been doing, just not any more. In about a week he's supposed to start a few more exercises. He was cleared for light duty at work for sometime next week I believe. It all depends if his work will let him return.

Our follow-up appointment will be on June 12, 2018. So provided he doesn't do anything stupid and further injure himself (which is my biggest fear), his recovery has gone well thus far!

Thanks for your love and support!
