OK We're back home now. I guess the hospital schedule has me messed up, Can't sleep real well. Yeah they got me stabilized on the breathing. I had to get the oxygen level above 88 so I could come home. The biggest thing this time is the veins in my arms. My left arm, the chemo has damaged them, and they colapse when they try to use them, so the left arm is off limits. But guess what? The same thing is happening to my right arm, the veins are getting thin and colapsing. The left arm seams to be healing up, but their still fragile. They couldn't get a good IV on me the other day, so they put in a Medi-Port. Permanent fixture in the main artery. No more veins, everthing goes in the port now. But, you don't have to worry about it, at all. It's got this cover deal on it, they just stick whatever they have to in it, and go with it. Besides that they beat me up so bad, my arm looks like I just came from fight club, it's purple and blue from my fingers to my shoulder.
One of the main reasons for it is, the Dr. asked me if I wanted to continue chemo treatment, I said, yes. This round is the tough stuff, I'll get 2 weeks off, go in for blood work and a follow up, then start the chemo again. I go one round of the kick butt stuff, and one round of the other, to try to break up the side effects. Then we'll have another follow up and evaluation to see if this is worth it.
It must be getting to the scary part, the Dr. told me to get things in order and feed the chickens.
OK, gonna go now.
GOD BLESS YA'LL/WE LOVE YA'LL
