So, Friday the 13th 2018 and halfway through radiation treatment and chemo for this bladder cancer and here I am in the ER. It turns out that I am NOT superman, go figure. I managed to take a bit of a tumble off the bottom step in the garage onto the cement floor. Bruised a knee cap and scraped up my ankle. Donna wanted me to come in and have them check and make sure my power port didn't take a hit. That's the point where they inject all the miscellaneous poisons into me to kill the cancer and Donna is concerned it might kill me if it dislodged and the stuff doesn't go where it is supposed to go. Seems the combination of medications, my stroke 8 years ago which effected my balance and Friday the 13th don't mix well.
It is Sunday as I write this and Donna is at the pharmacy getting some antibiotics to clear up or rather ward off a prospective infection. She called the oncologist and he called in the prescription. Then she is picking up Arby‘s and we are gonna chow down.
There is NEVER a dull moment between the treatments and all that happy crap. The interesting thing is that almost every one of the medications they have me on for this disease seem to have the side effect of dizzy.
That’s the weeks update from me, Superman signing off.
A Note from Donna: He is okay. I called the oncologist today because his abraisons look angrier today then they looked yesterday. I didn't want to take any chances and have him develop a full fledged infection. When I took him to the emergency room the other night I made him wear a mask. Good thing too because lots of people were coughing. He is not running a fever and that is good. He is going to see the oncologist nurse tomorrow right after radiation and they will check that just the antibiotic is going to be enough to get him through his Friday the 13th nightmare.
By the way, for people who were keeping track of our fan installation saga, this fall happened because of that fan installation. I was in my office working and the guy installing the fan needed a tool he didn't have in the room with him. The installer was on his first day back from OPEN HEART SURGERY and was huffing and puffing. Greg felt bad for him and didn't want him to have to walk all the way out to his truck so he offered to get him one of his tools out of the garage. You know what they say about good deeds not going unpunished. Below is a song written from real life events. The song is about true love, life and death. Have a tissue nearby when you listen to this song.
