Day 14 - Siesta Key

D begins his 2nd week of radiation today. He is feeling pretty good so far. He seems to have a normal energy level. The only thing that D has mentioned is muscle soreness in his legs. But, we have been walking a lot and staying very active, so that could why. One day last week, while D was taking his treatment, I talked to a couple of guys in the waiting room. One was doing fine and had not felt any side effects from the treatments at all. The other had to leave his job and take time off because his energy level was so low. They both told me that the side effects are different for each person. I'm continuing to believe that D is going to be fine with no complications. We would appreciate your agreement in prayer on this.

We attended Siesta Key Chapel yesterday morning. It's a Presbyterian Church here on the island. The Pastor preached the Bible and the people were very nice and friendly. We plan to attend there while we are here. The responsive reading went right along with our study from Crazy Love. God continues to amaze me every day!

We miss FCC and our friends and family there!

One evening last week, we drove over to St. Petersburg to visit D's aunt and uncle. They are getting fragile. His aunt had fallen early last week and was bruised pretty badly. His uncle seemed to be doing better than the last time we had seen him. Neither of them got up and moved while we were there. They stayed sitting in their recliners the entire time. Their daughter has moved in and is providing care for them. D's uncle had prostate cancer back in the late 1980's. He had the seeding procedure done back then and has had no more problems at all. That was very encouraging news.

Thanks again to all who are praying for us and keeping up with us on this blog. I plan to post again this week. D meets with the nurse tomorrow (Tuesday) or Wednesday. We should get a date for his seeding procedure at that time.
