Rich had an appointment with Dr. DiMeo this morning that went pretty...except that I, as "RESPONSIBLE ADULT", wasn't there. 😝. He's doing better than the last several weeks. The antibiotics and steroids Dr. DiMeo had given him to take if he needed them while we were in Alaska kept things at bay but as he came to the end of the rounds he was getting worse again and so made a trek to see the nurse practioner who had prescribed a different round of antibiotics and steroids and steroid injection. Rich had also take in a sputum to culture and Dr. DiMeo said that the change in antibiotics was what he had needed but wanted to add another antibiotic as well, and some more prednisone too. Evidently he had asked where I was and Rich had told him I was in the hospital receiving the yondelis and that prompted a discussion about the potential return to gem/tax. Rich said that if we ever go back there he'd be happy to do the lung care for me...that is what I'd want too.
I was finally released about 4ish and we went to Knoxville to finish up some phone stuff and then headed back to Oak Ridge for pharmacy pickups. We got home and watch a movie and I think I'm ready to hit the sack. I didn't sleep well last night...just my usual reaction to all the steroids they pre board me with...tonight I'll probably crash. Rich isn't feeling too good about my church attendance for this week...or for any outside activity due to the chemo...but I'm suppose to speak in sacrament meeting...so now what? Guess I'll figure that out tomorrow.
