Hi all! I am enjoying my daily 1 hr disconnect from my IV's and thought I would send an update. I am on day +3, with no major problems so far. My throat is starting to close off and mouth sores are pretty uncomfortable as you can imagine. They will be hooking up a morphine button later today which should help, the downside being morphine tends to make me feel loopy, so I will be using it sparingly. My Drs. tell me gold stars are not handed out here for suffering needlessly, so take the meds! I am still eating soft foods and that is good. Everyone here is happy with my progress so far. I am in confinement and tend to get a little stir crazy. I look forward to walking out of here whole and healthy. I will receive another dose of chemo today and am not looking forward to that, but as time goes on will get less and less. I am receiving blood and platelets about every other day.
I would like to thank Neil for his donation of blood in my name. Much appreciated! Take care everyone.
Cheers, Rob
