I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. There hasn't been too much to post about.  Dad is pretty much the same day-to-day.  Lately his back has been hurting, apparently not because of the cancer.  Maybe a pinched nerve.  Last night Clara had to take him to the hospital because the pain was becoming unbearable.  They want to have a neurologist look at him, for the nerve pain in his back.  But they most likely won't be able to round one up until Monday.  So for now he's in Arlington Memorial Hospital and will be there for this weekend.

Dad has been put on a new chemo plan. I think it's hittin him pretty hard right now. He's spending more and more time in bed. And I think Reno's death has had an impact on him. This week will be tough with Reno's funeral on Saturday. Again, I don't know how much longer he can hang in there. When he's awake he's pretty alert an you don't see a lot of signs. But he cannot stay "vertical" for very long before he has to go "horizontal". This week will be tough emotionally and we'll see how he holds up. Reno will be buried at the new National Cemetary in west Dallas where Dad wants to be buried. Dad will get an unexpected preview of his own services.
