The bone scan showed another tumor in Josh's right arm almost in the same spot as the one that broke in his left arm. this tumor is not as bad as the other arm. it has not weakened the arm as much, but it could still break easily. Josh has a brace he wears on it to hopefully help keep it more safe and he cant use his arm like before, so its immobile a lot of the time.
Meanwhile his other arm continues to heal, and he is moving it more all the time. he has it sling most of the time, and then loosens it so he can move it around. it swells and then the swelling goes down with use, but overall the swelling is going down. We work hard to keep it safe and hurt free when we move in bed, or get out of bed.
We have a lift the we used today for the first time. It work pretty good to lift josh out of his bed and set him in his chair. We are thinking about other ways to use it for his benefit.
The bone scan also revealed another tumor in the bone of the left femur that has the capacity to weaken the bone, but it will have to grow pretty good and hard before it would be a problem.
In conclusion, the biggest problem he faces is the medical field, the doctors are starting to want to fight josh on what they will do for him. They keep wanting him to dope up on high morphine, lay in bed, catch a cold , and die. His body is in bad shape, but not bad enough to do what they want.
As sick as he is we believe we have a long time to go before it gets to that point.
