Well to catch you up from yesterday, I did get my prescription refilled. I had decided I wasn't leaving the doctor's office until they gave me a paper prescription to take to the pharmacy, and I didn't. The receptionist was insisting that the doctor would phone it in for me at the end of the day, but I kept saying "what happens if he doesn't? I only have one pill left and I've been trying to call for 2 weeks. What if your phones go out again?" She said "well, we're open tomorrow." I said "look, my husband is getting chemo at NIH and we'll be there all day tomorrow." At that point the nurse practitioner heard the conversation and said, "for goodness sakes give her the prescription. If her husband is getting chemo, she doesn't need any more stress!" And so they did. Victory is mine!
Today it was NIH and chemo. Warren had a consult with the whole "pain team". There must have been 8 of them all poking his sore arm and asking questions. A nurse used a ProTNS on his arm Tuesday and today which seems to have shrunk the knot in his muscle. The ProTNS is electrical stimulation that works on the trigger points of the knots. I think Warren has a goal of seeing all of the medical teams at NIH before he's through.
My daughter's birthday is Sunday and I'm planning a family dinner. She's still has her virus (ebola/bird flu whatever). My son has got a cold or something and is going to the doctor tomorrow. My youngest brother's whole family has had the flu all week. The only ones that aren't sick are Warren and I and my other brother, his wife and my Mom. I'm beginning to wonder if Sunday is going to happen. My plan is to forge ahead until it proves impossible (remember the Thanksgiving fiasco?). My plan is to make lasagna, salad and garlic bread.
Have a great night.
