Patty,you didn`t offend me, most everyone here on the Board know that I can be a blithering idiot at times...........I read your last post, so now I`m probably going to open another can of worms......you mention your husband is tired of being in pain.........there is absolutely no excuse in the world for him to be in pain, especially if he`s in the hospital. Either he has to tell the staff or you have to yell and scream..........there is absolutely no reason, there are plenty of drugs out there for the pain. When Frank started rad 6 wks ago, the doc kept him in the hospital for a week simply for pain management.Lets face it, being in severe pain does make you want to just quit..........he needs to be pain free, and that can be done..........Love and Prayers Dee
