That sucks Bob! I went through this with my Uncle, same bone condition, and
it was very hard for all of us. I'll keep your family in my prayers and do
not hesitate to call on me if you need anything at all.. I am sure everyone
here will do whatever you need so don't be afraid to ask..
Thanks!

Subject: [GeoStL] Geocaching is on the Back Burner for now
Some of you know this already, some don't. 3 weeks ago I took my father to
the hospital because he was feeling very ill. After a barrage of tests they
found he had a urinary track infection. But what we didn't know is that he
also had prostate cancer which spread into his bone marrow. A bone scan
disclosed that it was spread throughout his body and turned his bones into
being highly brittle. After a week in the hospital, we put him in St.
Peters Manor nursing home where the thinks he's getting better. We haven't
told him the severity of the situation - yet. While rotating him in bed they
broke his right leg just below the hip which further complicates things as
surgery is out of the question. (not their fault) Last Friday we bought the
"pre-paid" funeral at Baue in St. Charles. My sister from Ohio and I are
tag-teaming our time with him. It's now waiting for that inevitable phone
call.
