Comfortable Day
Dave had a good day without any real problems and no sciatic nerve pain! I don't know if I mentioned it before, but he has been suffering from some sciatic pain ever since his bone marrow biopsy. I believe this was exacerbated by positioning during his TBI. All tests for a bacterial infection, which could have been the cause of the fever he experienced yesterday, were negative. Today, he was fever-free and actually had a good day. He tried eating some of the hospital food, but really wasn't too interested. He says everything is just too bland! Of course, I ate what he didn't (this is becoming a problem)!!! I think the weight he loses, I gain! Tomorrow is going to be another hard day - he will be having his last blast of chemo (Cytoxin) before his stem cell transplant on Thursday. We know he will be pretty sick from it, but he is willing to try anything to get his lymphoma in remission. He just wants to get back to Whitefish and go back to work! He is really missing the fire department and all his friends and family. Please say an extra prayer for him tomorrow -

The food at the Hospital is the worst. I had Ann bring me food from the outside unless it came in a can or was in a can, i.e. chicken noodle soup, mandarin oranges, baked beans. Everything else sounded good and tasted terrible. Only complaint I had against the hospital.
ReplyDeleteAnn knows a great little place behind the hospital for lunch, right on Lake Washington. It is called Agua Verde. Ask any of the nurses, they all know where it is.
Good luck with the chemotherapy. It is the same combination I received. GlenH
When I see the pictures of Dave in the lounge chair, I am so glad you got the chair. Be sure to ask for a lounge chair in the hospital. They have them although there are only a few, so get your request in ASAP.
