4:26 pm	Argh! No transfusion today. Tomorrow, probably. The current chemo package is not working. The thing on my chin is larger. They are considering radiation treatments. I am down too many white cells to get any chemo right now. My red cells -- the tumors kil red cell production from the marrow. So does chemo. So my numbers are as if I were three pints down. Comp still down at home, too. Part ordered and on the way. (34 Comments |Comment on this)

7:17 pm	Out of Communication My computer is dow. We've ordered a part. It will be in, next week. Monday I am going into the hospital for an overnight stay. I am low on blood and they are going to pump me up. This is not an emergency or they would have me in sooner. I'll see you when I get back. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

2:31 pm	Aha! I knew I had told them! I have a piece of paper I have to turn over to someone that specifically mentions the dye allergy. So they are the ones that dropped the ball. Of course, gloating will not make the de-schedule not happen. But I'm happy that I am not the cause of the problem. I did that too much with other stuff -- I don't need to get back into it.

12:14 am	No CAT Apparently the word did not get to the doctor that I have a reaction to the iodine based contrast for the CAT scans, and no one pre-medicated me. So I have to reschedule (next Wednesday, I think -- I'll chsck later), and takes some pills first. Grumble, grumble, grumble... Too hot, too tired, too annoyed. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

2:40 am	Chemo Friday morning I have been reluctant to mention it, but I had to go without chemo for a while until my insurances settled themselves out. So Friday morning I got back into chemo, different hospital, stil just as boring. This hospital serves lunch. Let's see -- I ate the filling on the piece of pumpkin pie, leaving most of the crust, I ate the ham sandwich, dunking it in the turkey soup broth, I chased the turkey and some of the veggies in the soup, leaving the noodles, and I ate part of the small bag of potato chips. They want cancer patients to eat. For the first time in my life, I was handed a booklet on how to add calories to my food. I got the burn, a bit more than the last time, no surprise. CAT scan mid-May, and we will see where the lumps have gotten to. Current Mood: quixotic (7 Comments |Comment on this)

3:36 pm	No overnight stay this time! Mostly new ailment. A pinched nerve first made my arm sore, then numb, then horribly painful -- consider resting your forearm on the griddle at MacD's, little finger edge first. The first set of percocets didn't work. I had taken the second set and they were not working fast enough when I hissed to my partner (eight in the morning) "Get dressed, we're going to the emergency room." Our primary care didn't even start answering their phones until 9:30, and no guarantee an appointment was open for today. So we flew. I alternated whimpering and hissing. The percocet finally kicked in about nine. At that point, I was slumping over half-sleeping and half still in considerable pain. The pain got somewhat better once I had a place to go horizonal. Anyway, they looked at em, x-rayed me, and wrote some prescriptions, and let me go home. Hooray! Might not be online tonight -- the drugs will make me very sleepy.

2:23 am	I keep losing this. So I'll post it here. Partially behind a cut, of course. Miguel de Cervantes: "I shall impersonate a man. His name is Alonso Quijana, a country squire no longer young. ( Books are bad for you. ) to become a knight-errant, and sally forth into the world in search of adventures; to mount a crusade; to raise up the weak and those in need. No longer will he be plain Alonso Quijana, but a dauntless knight known as Don Quixote de La Mancha!" Current Mood: quixotic (2 Comments |Comment on this)
