Well, bless Wes’s hear. He was sick as a dog days 3-5 after his chemo last week. This past Tuesday he started feeling better. Wednesday he was feeling great! He had 3 big meals…came to Talladega with his brother in law to do some upkeep at his mothers house…went by my house to pick up some cd’s that a friend of his dropped by …he was worn out. I called him from Huntsville Wednesday evening and felt so relieved to hear things were on the upswing. I told him that I planned on coming to Bham from Huntsville and visit him the next day.
Thursday I called him 3 different times during the day and went to his voice mail. My first thoughts were he was worn out from the day before…then I thought he might be out and about with Greg again…but then I started to worry a little…he should have called me back at some pojnt during the day. I called Freida’s cell phone and got her voice mail and finally just called their house. Greg answered and I asked “Is everyone ok?†he said…â€Oh..I guess noone has talked to you today.†What happened? Greg told me that they had been in the Emergency room with Wes all night and had got back home arounfd5:30 am. “What?†It was his gallbladder. My first thoughts and words were…Cancer????? He said no- he had a gall bladder attack.
Our thoughts consisted of everything from “bless his heart…he cant get a break to Thank God this happened now and not 3 rounds of chemo down the road. Later his immune system will be a lot weaker plus the fact that he will be taking injections of blood thinner everyday for this clinical trial he is a part of….sheesh.
Long story short, they gave him something for pain and told them to find a doctor to set up the surgery. Frieda has been trying to get Wes scheduled for surgery asap …especially since this will be putting off his chemo treatments
