We spent 6 hrs. in the RAD Dr. today - they were surprised to see us so soon. But they went ahead and did the tatoo, the trial run, got all the powers to be to agree to the angle of the beam and then burned the hell out of him....We got home at 7:00 pm and he exerted so much energy removing his prosthesis, that when he made it to bed, he broke out in tremors, that took all of my body weight to hold him in the bed...after about 10 minutes of shaking, which seemed like 10 hrs., he settled down and is asleep. I went to the store and broke apart in Wal-Mart...some lady came to me to hug me and then told me about this great tea from Mexico that saved her life from cancer....I don't know, right now, it just seems so hopeless....I couldn't bring myself to talk with the Hospice people today as I didn't want Jim to think that I was giving up on him....I'll wait for another day.

Thanks again everyone for all the prayers.

Hugs - Paula
