Linda's home again. She came home Thursday evening after completeing chemo and getting some PT to help her to walk with a walker.
So far, she isn't having any pain and is just using the patch. Because of that, she is much more alert, and able to eat some and drink fluids to prevent the dehydration.
She has had some vomiting, which is a late side effect of the cisplatin drug. Thursday night, she vomited twice despite medication and went in for IV fluids Friday morning (outpatient). The vomiting seems to have passed now (fingers crossed) as the last episode was Saturday afternoon.
She is getting the Neupogen shots (4 already). Hopefully, she won't get the pain back next weeknd which is the usual schedule she seemed to be on.
She is getting around the house with the walker better, but still has severe fatigue and she tires easily. She has been out on the patio in the evening.
Overall, this is the best she has been in well over 2 months. Maybe things are looking up. I hope her strength continues to improve.
Glad to hear Linda is home again and that her pain is being controlled. Janie sent me this link to follow her progress. Hang in there Linda, I've got tomatoes for you!

Praise God for small miracles. Our prayers will now be that her pain doesn't return later this week as a side effect of the injections.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the birds and beautiful evenings on your patio, Linda. We'll have to go birding at LaFitte's Cove together sometime this fall during migration so David can show Mike and me the ropes. We're pitiful trying to identify birds on our own. And then shrimp at Gaido's???
Sounds like a workable plan to me.
With love,

That really is a good report! I hope you have a pain-free week at home. Enjoy the time on your patio, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it pours tomorrow. We certainly could use some rain. My yard feels like concrete. I will be thinking about you --
