Home today

 So I’m headed home today. Not sure I’m ready but I’m going.  I have some stuff to assemble and some volunteers to do it and I plan on cooking Thanksgiving dinner later this week.  Lots of gardening to do too.stay tuned. I’m so ready to be home! 

Total confusion

 Two weeks ago I got the news that my tumors had grown 30%.  I was in the hospital so it was easy to ad in a CT guided biopsy of the tumor near the left kidney.   

Whoops.  

The biopsy shows no cancer in the cells taken.   It is possible it’s good news (tumor fragmenting and dying) or it could be something else.  We will rescan in two months. In the mean time I m not letting myself think it’s gone.   Please no overtly positive comments.  I think my oncologist is as confused as I am.   

Back to nausea

Yesterday and today I got sick (nauseous and vomiting) during PT.  It was quickly over but limited our work from standing to just sitting up.  Then I was visited by the social worker ans head of PT telling me mmy discharge date was firm for Friday since I wasn’t making progress.  The week at the hospital really set me back.  After we talked about my issues with backsliding (edema makiNg legs heavy in addition to the hospital) they extended that two weeks.  But that will be the drop dead date. I can leave earlier but not later.  I’m going to try takNg zofran (a whopping 4 mg) before PT tomorrow.  At the hospital I got 40 mg but here only 4 mg.  It still seems to take the edge off.
