build stamina walk a little and to get in and out of a car he is going to be starting radiation on dec 17th in frederick md that will weaken him again so we are also working on getting him strong with a super food diet at the beginning of this nightmare i was not able to say the words gbmiv still can t say it look it up if you wish to know more however i started looking on the web for information support sites ways to get strong before the radiation begins and other people seem to be able to talk about it so i guess i can start bill is still wary about the words he has not started to research

from elly and the girls who brought out a dining room chair for me to pull myself up using my right arm this took about fifteen minutes and made my girls worry a lot while i don t seem to have broken any bones nor did i open any of the breaks i had in august september but my right arm hurts too much when i try to lift it that i m really worried about what they are going to try to do at today s exam in hagerstown i spent the night switching between ice packs and a heating pad on my left shoulder and i have a little more movement but not much this morning elly made me a new ice pack for the
