And we're back...

I called the Onc office this AM because James noticed over the weekend that the chemo appt for Tues was not listed on upcoming appts. They called back and said OOPS computer glitch and you're not scheduled. After a bit of scrambling and having us come up after radiation today to meet w/chemo doc to figure it out they said we'll squeeze you in tomorrow, they'd had cancellations. Then on our way out of that appt they said WAIT how about we do it today? Why not. Sure. Let's do it.

I ran home (actually took the car) to pick up snacks supplies laptop and two hours later was back to keep company. James was all settled in and hooked up when I finally got back.

So here we sit. Almost done. Poison is in and fluids are flushing it back out. James has peed about a thousand times (TMI) because they give you meds that want to make you pee a thousand times to push the toxin through as quickly as possible. Tonight and tomorrow will be all about the gatorade. Mmm hmm...

I just went down to the cafeteria to find my sweetie a little pudding cup, his chemo treat, and they were all out. BUT they had a little icecream cooler so I bought two different flavors so he could pick and out of the goodness of my heart took care of the second one 'cause we couldn't just let it melt. Yum. He chose a klondike bar and I ate a caramel fudge awesome bar (have no idea what the name was).

Fluids are almost done so we're almost out of here. Maybe doing chemo a day early will be better for Easter Sunday. Maybe not, who knows. No matter what he probably doesn't want to be around sick folk and with a big family it's tricky to assume everyone is exceptionally well. Hope your weekend and holiday are fab. xxoo
