Start of Week 2 FdCYD - 5/15/07

Long, long day today. We left the house at 8:00 a.m. this morning and got back just before 8:00 p.m. The clinic appointment prior to treatment was a 10:00 a.m. We got to the hospital at 9:00 so Warren could get his blood drawn and the results would be available for clinic. All the results weren't back on time so after our clinic appointment we had to wait upstairs to be released to go down to the day hospital for treatment. We got down there about 12:30 and his drug wasn't ready to start the infusion until 2:00 p.m. Warren was given an anti-nausea medication prior to the chemo which promptly put him to sleep for the entire time. Three hours later plus an extra 20 minutes for a saline flush of his mediport and we were on our way home through rush hour traffic. Warren was still half asleep and said he wasn't hungry for dinner. So I said how about ice cream and that seemed to perk him up. So I took the back roads home and stopped for ice cream at the Coldstone Creamery. That's what we had for dinner.

He fell asleep again once we got home. I guess I'll be hauling Mr. Sleepy Head back and forth to the hospital all week long. I read half a book today, so that won't last the rest of the week.

I'm very soon off to bed, because we get to turn around and do this all again tomorrow without the clinic visit and the ice cream.

Be well.
