He is still in lots of pain, and is very anxious to get the chemo started. We just need to wait for the Dr. to say which kind and if there will be more tests needed before he starts. Some of the chemos require additional tests on the heart and other organs to make sure his body can handle it, but we won't know until the Dr. gets here.
So, now we're waiting. He's in good spirits, lethargic, slurs a bit, and keeps dozing off in the middle of conversations, but it's quite funny. He just asked me to lay with him and promptly fell asleep, then woke up and said, 'Beechwood in 93, we had a lot of turkey burgers, remember that? We got them from...' and then fell asleep. I have no idea why he was talking about that, but apparently it was important at the time.
He also will stop, look at us and say, 'I love dilaudid.'
He's got a great nurse today, Elaine, who just brought him Oxycodone with a Miralax chaser, and she sang the diarrhea song, complete with 'when you're sliding into third and you feel a juicy turd, diarrhea, diarrhea'. She's awesome. Too bad it's her last day! He loves her.
Dr's. here. Gotta go!
