Doctor's Doctor's Doctor's

Woke up went to IV therapy, nurse asked me to wait to talk to Dr. Lee I haven't seen in weeks so I was pretty surprised. Dr. Lee was concerned with me being in IV therapy daily. There are steroids that they are giving me that are not to good for my kidney's. He us also concerned that the IV fluids are not allowing me to hydrate myself as I need to be, making my tummy smaller. So the new plan is every other day. They are also going to add some work for physical therapy back and legs to get me stronger. I will have orders for IV fluid Sat and Sun, but he asked me if I can just go one day. B had an amazing idea to go ahead and head to Tri-cities this weekend. I was floored and excited so it looks like we are leaving Friday. And if I need it then we can come back early for Sunday fluids. I am taking tomorrow off fluids and am going to need to hydrate myself. Then after I went to physical therapy I had a new lady because my therapist was ill. It was so nice, I did get a call right before I went in that I needed to go to the Valley Office to see Dr. Laugen. So I booked it there after physical therapy and made arrangements they really want a pik line again, but I said no. It should be easier now (hopefully) since it's only every other day. I don't want a port in my chest either especially since it sounds like they are trying to kick me off IV all together. Will see. I really wanted to be back at work Monday. sigh... then I got home and picked up Honey who made an amazing Tamale Pie and cake. It was perfect and incredibly moist!

  2. Tommy, I'm your cousin from Mexico, Chely (aunt Chely's daughter, he). I just read in your dad's facebook about this blog of you beating cancer. Even though we haven't seen each other in a while, I want you to know how much I admire your attitude. Keep on fighting and congratulations for Belen and Yesi.

    God bless you.
