When It Rains, It Pours

(Dad's new plant by his bedside- Thanks Aunt Barbara & Uncle Jerry!)

Since it rained last night in Durham, we thought this was a fitting title to our blog this week. Dad met with a home health physical therapist on Monday. He helped dad with some exercises to strengthen his leg and gave his some pointers to get around the house. He needs to walk on his leg- so we plan to make that a priority. Overall, it was a positive experience and we were grateful for the home health service.

We have also identified another eye problem. When Dad went to the eye doctor on Sunday, a retinal tear was identified in his right eye. An appointment was set up and laser surgery performed Wednesday morning to repair the damage.

Dad continues to stay positive, thanks to all the well wishes from all of you. He is also feeling physically stronger everyday- due to each day passing from his chemotherapy treatment.
