Small Steps

Small steps because today, Sharon was taken for a walk (assisted by two physios and an anxious husband) to get used to walking with a stick.  She did really well.  To be blunt, it is still hard to believe that even on Saturday, I was struggling to keep up with Sharon on a walk that we did around Bristol and here we are a few days later in a vastly different situation.

Another uncomfortable night last night, but she is being given a nerve specific painkiller tonight so we are hoping this will move her forward in terms of pain relief.  Seems to be night time that is the worst.

Radiotherapy started today as well.  Feeling slightly sick afterwards, but picking up already.  Sharon will be kept in hospital until at least next Wednesday, the idea being they can monitor pain levels over a longer period and try and figure out how best to sort it.

I realise this isn't the most cheery blog post ever, but God-willing, things will start to pick up soon.
