I'm worn out -
Tom has been suffering severe spasms in his lower back since last Wednesday. They cause his knees to buckle and bring tears to his eyes. The radiation doc ordered a CTscan today- the findings revealing a blood clot near a kidney as well as what appears to be a touch of pneumonia. They've hospitalized him for 4 days while they dissolve the clot.
I'm feeling a bit lost - he's 90 minutes away and it seems like he's at the other end of the earth. The hospital is fabulous,and I am not concerned about his care, but being this far away at this time is unsettling.
Did anyone have blood clot complications during treatment? The docs say it is rather unusual to have one where his is located - that they usually show up in the legs. I'm grateful that his radiation doc called for the scan....

Glad everyone is back safely from the Vegas trip.
I've enjoyed reading your enthusiastic reports and your pix were great fun!
Love to all
