Great to be back home after two days away. I am certainly weaker than I was before I went in for the consolidation of the 2nd CODOX-M round, and the neuropathy in my feet is worse, making me very unsteady on my pins, but at least I don’t have to do the infusion of vancomycin morning and evening. The nurse de-accessed my portacath before I left; what this means is that she removed the needles from my chest, so now I can take a shower without having to get wrapped up in plastic. Mo continues to take good care of me at home and I don’t know how I would have gotten through all this without her. Now all I have to do is lay up for a few days, make my appointment with Dr. Jacobsen next Thursday, and it’ll be on the fourth and final round.
It seems that the Church of the Good Shepherd is not ready to let this sheep stray! Thanks for the flowers this morning, the prayers, the offers of support, and the spirit in which they are made. It is all very much appreciated to know that there are folks out there pulling for me.
