Sat. April 30

The past few days have been rough for Marty. While it seems like the radiation has worked in that he no longer has pain in his right shoulder/arm, he's been having severe pain in his sacral area/groin/thighs which has been flaring up unpredictably and has required him to take a lot of pain medication especially in the last 24 hours. It was a rough night last night and he is trying to rest now. I spoke with his doctor this morning and we are doing what we can to make him more comfortable, in raising the dose of his long-acting pain medications. Hopefully that will get things under control again so Marty can get outside and enjoy some sun.
