8 days down 22 to go

I know it’s been a week or so for an update. Last weekend Eddie went down to Inde. He felt so good he took out the race car. He was very happy. I personally want to thank Pete for taking him down and keeping an eye on him.

Eddie physical therapist wasn’t to happy about him in the race car. He was really sore. Eddie realized just how much muscle he’s lost.

This weekend Eddie went up to Flagstaff to have dinner with Maria on Friday. Saturday he is giving golfing a try. So, he’s in Williams with our friend Toby in a golf tournament.

The nurses at Mayo tell him it’s all about positivity. So he’s trying to live as normal as possible.

The good thing for me I get sometime to myself!

3 days downs!

These photos he actually said to put them on the blog. Any other time he didn't want photos of him. It reminds me of the movie "Friday the 13th." He gets to keep it when he's done. Just what I need!

Eddie has completed 3 days of radiation.

He said the first day he had a little freak out moment. The mask wouldn't allow him to see and he made them stop. He told them he needed to see "I'm used to wearing a helmet for racing" they had to go get an engineer to look at it and they were able to cut holes for his eye.

Every day it gets a little easier he said. So far he's doing great. They mentioned that the last two weeks he'll notice some changes. His last day is October 16 for radiation. There are some days were he'll have 5 or 6 appointments in one day. And, other day he might have two appointment and not close in time. sometimes he drives to Mayo twice a day. I told him to keep track of the mileage for taxes!

Everytime he goes to physical therapy they make him work a little harder. I have to remind him to do his exercises at home.

If you want to talk to Eddie give him a call. He's speech is good. His appetite, no problems there!

First day of radiation

Here’s a throwback photo of Eddie from 10 years ago!

Tomorrow (09-05) is Eddie's first day of radiation. If you have a minute send him a quick text.

Eddie will have radiation 5 days a week for 6 weeks. He also have physical therapy and meets with a nutritionist.

Eddie is doing great. He’s spirits are great.

Last weekend Eddie went to Inde Motorsport. He delivered one car and picked up two others. Plus, he worked on the race car. He came home exhausted but he said it felt really good to be there.  I want to thank Pete for going down to Wilcox and helping Eddie with the race car.
