Updates, thoughts, requests

Hi to all, thought I would update you rather quickly. Scott is feeling fine, however he is tired, rather exhausted. This didn't take effect until Sunday. He is getting frustrated because he can't do anything, well anything that he normally would be allowed to do. No lifting, no stretching, no bending, he can't even mow the lawn. Anything that would cause a jolt to his skeletal system would be off limits. I hope that this doesn't depress him, we can't have that.

I have a request, though. For those of you who know us, please please call, check up on him, send him cards, letters, pictures. Tell him dirty jokes, clean jokes, whatever. I need to keep his spirits up. It is that important. I can't do it alone, and this is the beginning of this rough road.
The other thing that I know is important, is the following: Please don't absolutely DON'T tell him or me horror stories. When I say horror stories, I mean who has cancer, who died from canacer, who had his particular type of cancer and died as a result. This will crush his resolve and will not allow him to get better.
Tell him the good stories, tell him who is a survivor of multiple myeloma. Telll him who made it through to the "other side" of life, beyond cancer. TELL ME FOR GOODNESS SAKE!
I know that you all are out there pulling for him, but these type of stories, the bad ones won't help. They will frighten us and will not allow us to be "normal" through this ordeal. He needs some sense, as we all do here, of normalcy.
We have several sayings in this house: WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS! THE DEVIL WON'T BEAT US THIS TIME! THIS IS A ROUGH SPOT IN OUR ROAD OF LIFE< IT GETS SMOOTHER AFTER THIS!
The doc's office called yesterday, chemo was changed to today. He went for the CT of his L hip though yesterday. They found that he has almost no bone left, and can't absolutely can't do any kind of strenuous activity. Tha didn't make him feel great, but he needs to get through this and must slow down with acceptance. He needs to feel that this isn't forever, and that this too shall pass.
That is all for now.......I will keep you posted. Think good thoughts, think happy things for Scott, and pllease pray, it is a powerful weapon against all odds!
