Settled In
I started a little glum over how much I am missing everything and everyone, but bucked up with a visit from my wife. Felt sluggish most of morning and read the paper, napped, and such. Jen's parents visited which was a nice visit.
I gave myself a sponge-bath and took a little walk around the floor. With my new-found independence I even made a frozen pizza in the toaster oven in the kitchen on the floor for dinner.
I think I paid the price later.
Bowels
So--not the nicest topic, but my bowels were not the best Sunday night. Not sure whether it was the pizza or not or if I have caught an infection (the risk of which caused them to prescribe another antibiotic and morphine). The concern, as with everything while my immune system is so suppressed is infection. Apparently CDET (?) can be a pretty nasty one and they want to avoid the bowel infections as best they can.
They measure everything here--all the food and drink that comes in and out. I'll spare you the details--but not having the best control of one's bowels is a terrible feeling. It made for a bad start to Monday--but more on that later.

I am sure your pizza would have been tastier--no promises on the side effects :)
ReplyDeleteHey buddy!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say hi... Ed sent me the link to your blog, and while I was saddened to hear about what you're going through, I also know you're tough and will have no problem with this...
If I can handle ITP, you should have no problem with APL.
And why do these things have three letters? But I digress.
Anyway, Tanya and I are keeping an eye on the blog and are keepin' good thoughts coming.
