We went to his house a week ago today (last Tuesday) and took him to the VA clinic in Fort Worth. They had his medical appointments wrong and he had to go there to get them corrected.
He is still a pistol he walked past the sign in clerk at the check in counter, kept going into a hall and down to the man who could correct the schedule. The man said, “Did you check in?” Johnny said something like, “No - this schedule is wrong, fix it.” The man corrected the schedule, and Johnny came back to the lobby and sad, “It's fixed, I'm ready to leave.”
That took all of about ten minutes and we were out of there. If he had signed in, we would have sat in the lobby until they decided to see him.
He goes to see his cancer doctors tomorrow and I think he will get the results of the three MRIs that have been made. No chemo will start again until the results of the MRIs are known.
My opinion of the MRIs is this:
He is better now than he was one month ago. I won't describe how he is better, as that would take up a lot of space. Everything about him is better in all his daily living activities.
If he is better in every way of daily living than one month ago, surely the MRIs will show progress. When I get those results, I will let you know.
He is cleaning out his house of anything he doesn't want or like, and replacing those items with new items he does like. Out with the old bed, in with a single bed he loves. Out with furniture he doesn't like, in with new furniture. When you are stuck at home, home becomes the new goal - fix it the way you want it.
The thing about changing his living space is this: A month ago, I don't think he could physically do this. When you are very sick, you don't think of your surroundings - you just want to feel better. He is better and his surroundings now matter - he is energized to make changes.
Thanks for posting Marcella. A man’s home is his castle. Feel better every day one day at a time Johnny! Prayers continue.
Thank you for the update, Marcella. Johnny seems to be doing much better.
Just the story about the VA clinic alone is proof of that, but the added part about him improving his home is very reassuring.
Continuing prayers. Thank you again, Marcella.
Thanks for the nees about Johnny.
Thank you Marcella. Making his surrounding to his liking, makes it sound like he has a future. He’s on our prayer list and he mentioned quite a few times a day.
Does he use his computer. Are his eyes better/balance? I truly hope so.
Thanks for keeping us all informed. Glad to hear that Johnny’s daily activity is better.
