Dial 57588 for magic 12/23/2017

December 23rd 2017                                                               Back to In the Beginning

My CNA, Dolly, said I'd checked in too late to be able to select my breakfast. She then wrote down the dietitian's phone number on the whiteboard in the room. At 6, I called up the kitchen to find out what was for breakfast and what I could select. I knew there was another reason I chose Summerlin.

I had a choice of eggs up, eggs scrambled, egg sandwich, cheese omelette, bacon, ham, sausage, English muffin, cheese danish, cereal, orange, apple or cranberry juice, and coffee or tea or any combination. I complimented him on the Chicken Cordon Bleu last time and he said it's probably on the menu for tomorrow's lunch. Hope I'm not here. I'm supposed to be Santa for Ellie.


Next: Well this sucks

Getting back on track

Cobra finally approved . Of course the woman who has to submit the authorization request for the lymphedema pump only works Tues-Thurs, so lose another week getting this thing.  Every couple of hours I have to try to manually massage my torso, thighs, hips and back to move the lymph to ease the pressure. Sometimes it actually helps. Decided to go back to oncologist and get a dose of Taxol just to hold off the cancer till ny other treatment is ready. Really didn't want to, but it's been too long with doing nothing. We will see if he actually has an argument in favor of Keytruda or he was just grasping at straws. Other treatment is outside the box, but I have seen the proof of it knocking out cancer in 6 weeks regardless of type of cancer. When it works for me I will be even more comfortable putting people ... in touch with the representative for it and share the proof. I expect to start that the week after this. After the treatment, then back to healing up from cance...

December 21, 2017                                                                      Back to In the Beginning Just couldn't get through the week without another doctor's visit. Noticed that the drain in my side is red and tender.  Well, 'inflamed' is more like it.  I'd post a picture, but wouldn't want you to barf on your keyboard or phone.  A bit later, feel something on the inside of my cheek.  Aw crap... They told us about this in the video. A mouth sore. Just feels like when you bite the inside of your cheek and it gets all rough with a noticeable difference in feeling.  Not a pain or an itch, although closer to the latter, because you always feel like 'worrying it' (to use an archaic meaning) with your tongue.  No fever, so I think that's a good thing.  Mikki had ...

Start again

Started taking CBD oil by capsule so I know what the dose is. Probably not a quick pain fix, but of you don't start sometime.... At least I'm now dressed for bike riding . Lymphodema therapist recommended wearing bike shorts to increase compression in my midsection. Stupid ibuprofen didn't work last night, just added to my heartburn. Finally this morning, took all the wraps off my legs and by 1pm the pain subsided enough to let me get an hour's sleep. So seems most of the pain is from lymph being pushed up. The pump coming tomorrow hopefully will take care of that. It squeezes the lymph up your legs and pelvic region to the upper lymph nodes. Like being inside a snake that's moving up your leg. Went to see oncologist today . Said I didn't qualify for any trials because my liver numbers were off the chart. His only other options are low dose of chemo...which probably won't do anything. Yttrium chemo shot right into the liver to kill the cancer there ...
