Another Dang Cancer

Dang, got the results back from the pathology department and my appendix seems to have cancer in it. More details are unfolding as I go forward communicating with the different doctors that I will be dealing with over the next few weeks. 

never a dull moment

I can't win for losing last week I get pink eye this week appendicitis I wonder what next week holds for me.  Oh yea I am at the  spa using the AER entrance

ER trip 6/1/14 10pounds of fluid in 2 days

Really disappointed today after having to go the ER at about 0300 this morning.  I didn’t know what was going on, I gained 10 pounds since May 28, 2014 (all fluid retention from IV bags).  I thought I might be getting some of the fluid in my lungs and around my heart but the EKG, x-ray, and labs looked unremarkable (good news).  My hands, legs and feet are / were so swollen I can’t even comfortably wear shoes right now.  With the diagnostic test done and unremarkable I was given a Lasik pill to help take off some of the water I plan to see my primary care doctor on Monday.

 

I think I might be breaking up with Baylor Medical in Dallas (going have to get some chocolates and and flowers for that other teaching hospital in Dallas from whence I came), I called the operator a Baylor Dallas requesting a heart or lung transplant doctor on-call to update them on my status since I am in a current state of rejection….long story short after 4 calls and being bounced around I got no one connected the transplant office   (Pissed as hell to get good medicine you need to have good bi-lateral communication for the partnership to work)  if I can’t get good communication to go along with good medical care I will seek it out elsewhere.

 

I did learn from the ER doc that treated me that I don’t have to have the Sodium IV bags when I get procedures done,   so no Sodium IV bags for me!!!!!

Bronch 5/29/2014

Just finished my latest Bronch at Baylor in Dallas so I am sitting in recovery wearing my hospital dress fashionably of course.  I will say it was the best sleep during the procedure since I got out of the hospital in early May.  Bronch was okay got some new antibody so I am taking a broad sprctrum antibiotic.  I think this time around I was able to shake the bronch meds in 30 mins and become functional.

I am ready to go, ready to eat, and ready to watsome bball.

I hope I have no typos if I do blame it on the sauce :-)

the streak ends

Back in the hospital again seems like my lungs are a little sick right now.  Let'ssee what Baylor has to offer.  So far I am enjoying the atrium cafe. Waiting for my bronch .
