4:01 am

zoozzoom

I should be able to find it as it is a four lettered word.

Very good morning!

7:05 am

Kallia

hi Ruby, have you been for you scan yet?

7:06 am

rubyfoo

l had my thoracic scan and all the results were good. All the lesions on organs (liver, peritoneum, kidneys, etcc<;

7:06 am

rubyfoo

havee gotten much smaller and there are nonewtumors!

7:06 am

Kallia

wow thatis good news

7:07 am

Kallia

what about the bonescan?

7:07 am

rubyfoo

Allof that is wonderfulnews BUT Nothing explains my weird new pain (9-15!)p and ALLof the doctors are on Holiday.

7:08 am

Kallia

all on holiday? that is mad!!

7:08 am

Kallia

is that the scale of your pain9-15?

7:09 am

rubyfoo

For the moment, l can live with the pain. l really thought l was dying!

7:10 am

rubyfoo

When one of the doctors gets back, l think we'll have to look for a new class of pain medication andl'll cut way back on the oxy.

7:10 am

Kallia

well don't suffer with pain, you have medication for that I think

7:11 am

Kallia

yes seemslike a good idea, you have possibly becometolerantof it, andits not having the same effect

7:11 am

rubyfoo

lt's August; the Frency lemmings all take their holidays at the same time

7:12 am

Kallia

sorry about the typing..when I type fast I dont hit the space bar correctly

7:12 am

rubyfoo

That's probably it, but l'll be happy to cut back to my simple cancer-pain controlling dose of 20 mg./day.

7:13 am

rubyfoo

Thefe were days when ltook 80 mg!

7:13 am

Kallia

Ah no wonder you felt tired and out of it

7:14 am

rubyfoo

l am very happy, all in all, and Lucky to have so many concerned friends!!

7:15 am

rubyfoo

That amount of oxy wouldknock out a man twice my size!

7:16 am

Kallia

pain killers need sorting, youdont need to be in pain

7:16 am

rubyfoo

This seemslike a fixable problem

7:16 am

rubyfoo

This seemslike a fixable problem

7:17 am

Kallia

Ok I need to go shopping, was hanging on to see you. It does indeed seem like it can be fixed, and that's good news

7:18 am

Kallia

catch you later x

7:19 am
