Shit shat ist geshotten

 I used to conjugate Crap in German like this. 

I learned today that there was significant growth on my tumor. I haven’t even gotten out of the hospital yet. Working on scheduling a CT guided biopsy to look for other treatment options (immunotherapy). Stay tuned. I’m licking my wounds.

Lawdy lawdy

They still can’t get blood. the blood from this morning was taken down stream from the hydration drip and was therefore They think showing high anemia when I’m not showing any symptoms. 

Results of the endoscopy were good   

A doctor finally came to talk to me about the CT results - some fluid collection in various places- any why procedures were scheduled for today.  rather than have a needle aspirate liquid an equally good option is waiting guess what I chose.

Horribly bad day

 After much trepidation I agreed to undergo a endoscopy.  They think they found the source of the bleeding and fixed it. We will see if it worked or not. First time under general anesthesia (propofol) and hopefully the last   Still can’t moon walk even with one glove  

They are still failing on blood draws.. Not sure why they send the B team first. I have bruises on bruises and still have 3 IVs. 

Slept like a log all afternoon.  Not sure it made up for last night yet.  No idea when I shift back to Mission rehab.  

Yikes they ate back for another blood draw.

Monday blues

 Really good PT session where I was at 80-90 for power to stand.  That was the highlight.  Lunch came at 1 pm (usually 1130) and was a hot dog which I ate. One ketchup packet and zero salt for the fries was limiting.  Half an hour later the hot dog reappeared. It was prob ELG the most meat id eaten in weeks.

Even keel

 Early last week they missed my 4 AM thyroid med.  I felt better.  So I declined the Med the next few days and lo and behold woke up clearer headed on Saturday.  I was able to eat and avoided nausea. Now to talk to the Dr about what to do for the thyroid.  New labs tomorrow.
