Tennis Anyone?

Tonight the whole family went to the tennis courts to try to play.  I say try because we are not really tennis players.  Roland and I explained the rules and scoring.  Reece was getting intense and after he felt confident, he organized a double elimination singles tournament.  I checked in with Roland often to see how his leg with clots was feeling.  He wasn't exactly running all over the courts, but he did take first place in the competition.   

Tenacious Blood Clots

The ultra sound indicates the blood clots are still hanging on in his lower left leg.  He can walk about three blocks without any pain, but anymore than that is painful.  The Chemo effects are wearing off, though not very decidedly.  He has difficulty sleeping and feels terrible most of the time.  He is trying to have a good attitude--he serves the family and in church and applies for work and networks with people to see what direction to go to provide for our family.  He would love to subsist on soda water and crackers, but he knows better so he nibbles at other things.  His hair is coming back slowly and softly. He realizes this is only temporary.
