April 4, 2018. Madison, Mississippi. Update For Ken.

This morning, with the assistance of the Physical Therapist, Ken walked down the short flight of stairs to the deck. And he got back up. I was sitting in the living room and was astonished. Ken was pleased. He was wanting to sit on the deck in the comfortable chairs. Now he will be able to, at least he will when the weather gets warmer. The 63 degrees of today is too chilly to be comfortable. Ken is doing well. He walks short distance with no assistance and is confident doing it. His color is good and Diane is pleased with his eating. Every day he walks outside on the driveway with the helper. And with the help of April, he filled two bird feeders. He has resumed his pattern of ordering what we need, using the iPad or computer. Boxes have arrived with milk, chargers, coffee and tea pods. Tomorrow the books he ordered for me will arrive. So he is still weak, but he is stronger and more confident that a month ago. He takes two naps a day, one late in the morning and another late in the afternoon. Tomorrow he will have three scans in the nuclear medicine department of the Mississippi Medical Center. Diane will accompany him along with April, his helper. I will stay home. Those scans will tell the story of his prostate cancer and where it has gone. Then on Friday he will meet with the Urologist when we expects his catheter will be removed and he should find the results of the scans. Much progress has been made. Slowly and steadily Ken hopes to keep winning the race!!
