This is not the good news I hoped to share with you when I got home. First. the colonoscopy found another cancerous growth on my colon where two were removed two years ago. They are studying the CAT Scan to see if surgery can remove it. I’m praying they go with surgery instead of chemo or radiation.
Then the physical therapist evaluation discovered that in addition to my constricted arthritic knees, my hips are also constricted so ever walking again safely even with my walker is no longer a reasonable goal for me.
I’m disappointed about all of this bad news, but I still have much for which to be thankful. The other patient in my room is younger than me. His body is still strong and he walks the halls every day with his wife and caregiver, but he will never be able to go home again. Dementia has robbed him of his memory and ability to speak. He can hear and obey instructions but cannot make any decisions on his own. Compared to him, I am truly blessed.
Thank you for your continued prayers.
I’m sorry to hear that news Jim! Praying that surgery is still an option and that you keep finding encouragement from the Lord in your current circumstances!
