So yesterday, I just sat here. Yup. That's pretty much what I did. I let the HVAC guy in to fix our a/c, and then I wrote a check to him. I changed the channel several times, took medication and logged drain output. Quite possibly the laziest day I've participated in for a LONG time. If that's what it takes to get better fast, I'm going to have to heal slowly. Jeez, what a long day.
I'll avoid running errands that aren't necessary (we'll leave those up to Kevin,) but I'm not going to sit in this chair 24/7, THAT'S for sure. Today, I think I'll walk up to the post office. All the way up town, by myself. (Those who know this town will get the joke. We're talking 4 blocks.)
I got a call from someone yesterday (I cannot keep track of what nurse is from what office anymore) but she was somehow affiliated with the oncologist. I am to go in at 10:15 on May 22. I'll have a meeting with the oncologist and then have my first chemo treatment. I'm supposed to plan on being there for many hours, especially for the first visit. Maybe as many as six!
The problem that I see (and it may not be a problem, but I'll be asking) is that I expect Jaxson to still be hanging around then. I still have not dropped under 100cc in a 24 hour period, and it's got to get under 30. If you aren't familiar with Jaxson, go to this post and read the last paragraph. I didn't think to ask yesterday, but I have an email in to my favorite nurse/source of information to see what to do about it. Maybe Jaxson will just go along for the ride. LOL He's always enjoyed a good road trip.
I slept in my own bed last night, and I believe I slept better than I have in three weeks. Can you believe it's been three weeks? I may try to make the transition back into there now. This poor recliner deserves a break. :)

If you need transportation anywhere, you know Cliff is available. I believe Jaxson will be gone by the 22nd.
I hope he's gone by then. I found out for sure that they will NOT start chemo with a drain still in place, and PS wants to do at least one fill before chemo, so there is a LOT of pressure on Jaxson right now. Tick Tock, sucker.
