We have had an interesting few days. Callum went to a managers' retreat this past weekend and got in some golf and fishing along with the meetings. He is still quite tired, as are most of the managers! I had a work thing to go to on Saturday and watched some movies - a nice, quiet weekend for me! I found some new bathroom accessories for the basement bathroom so am happy to have it a bit updated. We went to the Elton John concert last night - he was awesome! He had his band this time so we did get to hear Pinball Wizard - what a treat!
Yesterday we were saddened to hear of the passing of Edward, the other gentleman who received Gamma Knife surgery the same day as Callum. He was just shy of his 79th birthday. He looked quite well in August so we were a bit shocked. We haven't heard anything from the lady who had the surgery done that day so we hope she is well.
We have an appointment this morning with the radiation dept - likely the planning session for the whole brain radiation. We met with Dr. K. last week to confirm that we will be going ahead with it. He mentioned that with the gamma knife surgery and the whole brain radiation treatments being done so close together there is a slight increased risk of seizures post-treatment. Not what we really wanted to hear, but at least we are prepared. He is back on chemo tomorrow so it will be a quiet few days the end of the week. At least we have the Ryder Cup to watch on TV! I don't know how the PGA managed to schedule it, but Callum has had treatments during the week of most of the majors so has been home to watch the Thurs/Fri rounds- unless they were rained out. Well, I should get on my way and jump into the activities of the day!
