The meetings

Things are getting busy.  Meetings with the social workers, oncologists for the kidney and the shoulder, gasteronologists, lab work, and then there is momma's oncologists, gasteronologist, internist, orthopaedic surgeon, and more lab work.  

With momma we usually know what's going on, daddy is a whole different story and this time we're making sure at least one of us is going with him to all of his appointments.  He tends to color coat medical information and we want to make sure there are no more surprises. One scare was enough. Daddy in his own way is still trying to protect us even at the expense of his own health.

One appointment; me, badoll, and chris, are there and the oncologist is asking him:
   Are you having pain?
   How long has the arm been bothering you?
   How do you feel?

It's like a movie, we are sitting there waiting.... with abated breath for the answers.  One of us thought we could answer for him and boy did we get the look.  Funny.
