Talked to Dad briefly tonight. He got home last night from UCSF. He doesn't sound so great. He said he had a lumbar puncture before he left UCSF which always seems to mess with his neck and shoulders. He's complaining of a really bad headache and neck pain. Last time it was from the position they had him in where he had to lean really far forward and kind of hunch over for a long stretch. It really strains those muscles and causes some serious aches and pains for him for quite awhile. Becky was getting him some pain meds while we were on the phone, so hopefully those will help and he can get some sleep tonight.

He also said he's down to 188 lbs. That means he lost quite a bit of weight this last round in the hospital - somewhere between 12-14 lbs. in 3 weeks.

I'll call him tomorrow and see how he's feeling.
