Boring

I thought I was feeling better. I spent the day at the Doctor. Very swollen very sore. I think my distended stomach is a combo of cancer and back up. Back to the doctor tomorrow. I am so sore. i don't sleep I toss and turn. The la z boy is uncomfortable. i hope they can resolve this. Home health care is coming to the house in the morning to help unstop me and then back to the Doctors office for more fluid. Then they come this weekend to hydrate. They are going to teach me how to give myself an iv. Hmmmm... If you are really sick how are you supposed to do that. I doubt my Mom can do it.
I am concerned about making it to MD Anderson and then when do I come back for trials?

Oh and then the medicine I started taking today said one of the side effects is tardiff dyskemia.
Joy. i am not taking any more of it.

  1. Dear Ellen, my sister is Nancy Ann Harris. She doesn't do computers so she asked me to check your blog and report to her, because she cares very much about you, your Mom, and Leslie. (Leslie may remember having Christmas dinner at my house years ago.) We are keeping you all in our prayers. I have added you to the prayer list at Woods Presbyterian Church. You will be prayed for by hundreds of people there.

    A word from another dog lover: Heal! Harley Harris Williams

  2. We can't get around the fact that you still have a bit of the bad stuff in you (April is nearly here), but I'd like to help you consider that your distended condition really is partly from the surgery.

    Glad that they're coming to help you "jettison" the other half of the bloat. I have a few (ugly) pictures of my big belly post-surgery and I was puffed up like a toad frog. Know you're not feeling swell :(

  3. Hey, I KNOW you will feel better when you are not FOS (full of sh#@!). You will be able to go to MDA. They will clean you out! If you want me to hook up an IV just call me...I can pop over on my way back from work. Nancy
