Well the bad news is I have nothing to write the really bad news I'm going to go ahead and write something anyway. Well back to work again all I needed to do was a Cat Scan at 10:45 AM got to work late seemed difficult to get up and get going also went out to warm up the car before I took off. The temp was -12 not sure we can stand this Global Warming much longer. Thought that I would get some work done before I left but the phone continued to ring but got some done.
My next appointment with Dr. Bailey is Monday so I hope the results from the Cat Scan are ready by then. All that is left before they can set up the BMT was the Cat Scan, the new Bone marrow test which will be done in Ann Arbor, and last but not least a dental exam. I of course kept forgetting to call the Dentist and Sharen reminded me again this afternoon (nagged me) so I called to set up an appointment and they told me they would be unable to help because the Dentist was leaving on Tuesday, but she would check and keep me on call Monday in case someone dropped out. I thanked her and within 10 minutes she called back and said if I could get there by 4:30 he could get me in, so that took care of the Dentist. Dr. Tucker is a recommended Dentist.
When you have a Squid in they require a certain amount of care and feeding, and tonight was when it needed done we watched the Nurse complete the procedure in around 10 minuets. our first pass at the procedure took over 1/2 hour we would get it started then start arguing about how or what to do. We seemed to get it done and were still talking so in the future it should go faster.
What needed to be done was put heparin in each of the ports to keep them clear, change the caps on the ports and clean ends, remove the dressing clean well, then replace with a new special dressing just for this ocathon. while keeping everything sterile unfortunately we wont know about that for a few days.
Every body take care and God bless.
