PUNCHY

It is now Wed. again!!!   Bob is still not feeling as well as he should.  This flu has taken a lot out of him.  We are on track again with all the lab appointments that will lead up to seeing the oncologist next Wed.  Not sure why Bob only gets Wed. appointments.  Does Dr. Bahlis only work one day a week---like a pastor.hmmmm.
Sorry Dr. Bahlis I realize how many cancer patients that are in the clinic each week.  I know that you see lots of patients and thankfully are also so involved with myeloma research.  Sorry to Brad as well, I know pastors put in lots of hours.  I am just feeling a bit " punchy" today.  The sun is suppose to come out today--perhaps that will help.  It seems to have been dreary for a long time.  Er.... maybe since I got sick almost two weeks ago now.


The INR results from the lab test yesterday was sent to our Dr. by the afternoon.  Lab tests can make a person feel ...well, important when a doc is calling all the phone numbers available to find you.  The INR test couldn't be read!!!!  Bob's blood is supposedly so thin, it should be oozing through the pores.  This has to be a mistake as he isn't even having nose bleeds.  The doc faxed a prescription to the pharmacy for Vitamin K1 oral solution (phytonadione).  However this pharmacy and no other pharmacy anywhere near here is able to fill this.  The only pharmacy that did the "mixing" is somewhere over near the Chinook shopping centre.  Soooo Dr. Bob stopped taking the warfarin and passed on the Vit. K.  Now he is to have the INR test every day---easy for a doctor to say not so easy for a patient to accomplish.  An appointment is needed for lab work unless you want to sit in the lab for a LARGE number of hours for an opening.  My Bob is still working so this becomes more of a challenge as we have yet to see evening appointments, when you book.  The earliest he could get an appointment is on Thurs at 2:40---booked yesterday.  Can't make appointments for Sat and Sun so he will be at the clinic when it opens at 7:00am.  Makes me a bit punchy!!!  Makes me a  nervous!!! 


Bob is at work today so hopefully there won't be any contact sports or saw incidents!!!!!


Bob is looking a little frail so we are going to start working on that.  Email me occasionally to make sure that we are walking and exercising.  OK?  Need some accountability help here.


The sun is out!!! Enough grousing and I will continue on with spring cleaning.
