Please forgive me! I've been to tired to post anything more than... "I've done nothing today but sleep and have no energy" So I just let a few days get by....
What really was happening was that I took my morphine wrong. I'm OK, but I miss-read the instructions and was taking the break through morphine too often, as in waaaayyy too often!
Yesterday, I managed to get an 'emergency' pain consult with the Dr. to ask his advice on what to do and how to stay alert and what to take etc. SO we have a plan. I also had my labs drawn yesterday. Unfortunately, my blood platelets have gone even lower. Pray for a miracle and that this pill chemo I'm taking is doing 'something' to slow down this cancer.
My oncologist is not here this week but even if he were here, I've been too weak to fly home. BUT yeah for me...since I'm feeling so much better today, and have been getting stronger I booked my flight home for Saturday Jan 7th. Unfortunately, it will only be until 1/12, but that works for me right now. The only thing that could put a huge damper on my plans is that my friend, Trish, is joining me in Phoenix for the next trip. She's flying to Phoenix the same day. If my blood work I have drawn at home on 1/10 says no chemo port chemo, then I'm not sure what to do. She'll have to last minute change her flight plans to come to CO and be with me there. Hoping/praying that isn't necessary.
In addition today I met with the occupational therapist and they ordered me a walker. I'm an old lady now needing help getting across the room. I get out of breath quickly and tire easily.
But guess what? I get to go home!!!! Even if it is only for 5 days! Just pray I continue to get stronger, I don't want to be a burden on the plane
Until later.......
