And on it goes…..

My Joe had his first ambulance ride yesterday.

Despite all our communication with the anesthesiologist prior to a minor elbow surgery, he was laid flat on his back for the procedure. When he ‘crashed’ as the surgery ended, they sat him up, gave him two breathing treatments and decided to transport him to the ER. Six hours later we were -thankfully - released to go home.

My poor Joe! Just one thing after another! The ER doc said his chest CT looks ‘worse’ than the one from a June. We now have a pulmonologist on our team, so I’ll call him today….

When I asked the onc to schedule PSMA and FDG pet (I sent him the link to a study from Tall Allen encouraging both), he said no: that it’s not necessary.

From the ‘good news’ department: Joe’s PSA dropped from 12+ to <6 after 2nd dose of Pluvicto.

It’s a roller coaster……

Today is a new day! Let’s grab all the joy we can while we can!

Thanks for being here. I very often think of this group while pacing doctor’s offices or the ER. Just knowing there’s a tribe of warriors helps me feel less alone and powerless.

Your husband is a lucky man to have you in his corner.I hope his PSA continues to fall. Best Wishes

Thank you. I feel blessed to have been chosen to walk this path with him. It’s helped me learn that love is an action word, not just a feeling.

the good news is that Joe is back home and doing better. Plus like PSAed said , he has you there looking after him and helping him. That’s priceless for guys like us. Sounds like you are taking good care of him.

❤️❤️❤️

Kaliber, he’s been the light and laughter in my life, after a few really poor choices along the way 😂

I’m so fortunate to have him to love!

"a few really poor choices along the way"

Catey the Lady..........You're Lucky Joe only made a few.... most of us guys can write books about our poor choices.... I'm glad you think of us, cause we have your back....

Just so you know most "anesthesiologist" are into happy gas....They can't count past 9...

As an ex-cop you might appreciate this: Why did God make cops? Firemen need heroes too......
