Hanging out in the ER

Hanging out in the ER

Spent overnight Monday in the ER. Arrived about 9 p.m. Monday and didn't leave until about 7 a.m. Tuesday. Fun, fun. ...
Monday was another yucky day with no strength or appetite. My wife, Lynn, suggested I check my temperature. It was 101. Anytime my temp is 100.5 or greater I'm supposed to call my doctor. I did. After dealing with a rude answering service, I was sent to the ER. Seems a fever means you have an infection somewhere, so the doctors didn't want to take any chances. Bottom line for my 10 hours of captivity: I was given an antibiotic and some fluids. Of course I had to give pee and blood and have an EKG and a chest X-ray before getting the treatment I needed. ...
The good news Monday was I had my final radiation treatment. It came at a good time. My back is feeling like it has a pretty bad sunburn. ...
I have a CT scan tomorrow. We're taking pictures of my chest to see how much smaller the monster is. I won't know the results until next week, at which time we'll set a time frame for my next three cycles of chemotherapy. Please pray for good results.
