Other notes, because at this point in time, blogging is ambitious.
- Even though we have exposed the "P" word, we have not heard the accompanying "F" word to go with it (fungus,) meaning there is a prayer of uncovering the cause of this rise in in pneumonia.
- The thoracentesis yesterday was successful. None of these things would even be on the table for discussion otherwise.
- The number of bags hanging on the IV pole has been reduced by half. I am now taking only one anti-biotic, one anti-fungal, one anti-viral, a couple of pain meds, MULTIPLE anti-nausea meds and one anti-dementia drug. (seeing if you're as awake as I am. I can't remember what the last medication is. And one immune suppressant drug.
- Counts continue to rise. Platelets were over 50 today!!!! Get me a normal toothbrush. Woo hoo!
- White count is staying in the normal range.
Nedra, your post stuck and stayed. I'm most anxious to hear your interpretation of the verification words. LOL Though PLEASE do not let that keep you from posting! It is not a requirement.
That's all folks. All I can stay awake for.
Much love.

Pole position in mid-afternoon. Woohoo.
Wait - maybe I need some of your anti-dementia drugs Cathi! har.
You sound absolutely wonderful my dear - despite the pain and the bags and the number of drugs.
Wait - when I was visiting we wrote down everything you were taking on the board. We filled up the board with words I cannot spell. Okay, I can spell Fentanyl and Reglan. But, the list was endless. It sounds like you're not on as many - even though they are pumping you full of meds to cure you of whatever it is in your lungs. The number sounds somewhat manageable.
AND YOUR NUMBERS ARE GREAT. Have fun brushing your teeth! It gladdens my heart to see you so excited.
Today's wv for me: fishicav. The redneck word for Thoracentesis.
Wonderful to see the post today! Thoracentesis done, a real toothbrush - celebrate! Then lay low, hunker down; it'll get better again.

Sending lots of positive vibes and healing love. hope you feel less grim today.

Good morning. It's wonderful day in the neighborhood. Things are better - no pain to gain. You're doing great. How do you keep up with all the meds? Let alone spell them. Wish I was there.

Hey! Although the pneumonia definitely does suck, your counts are great and you can brush your teeth the usual way now...how grand! It truly is the little things in life that we learn to appreciate more when things get out of wack or don't go our way.
Hope you are enjoying relief from the Thoracentesis and filling in the holes on your iPod.
We miss you and hope to see you very soon!
Love-
Margaret and Craig
our word is pedho. Craig and I decided to google our word...doesn't look so good. (Loli) Pedho is a pamphlet put out in Germany that encourages "Incestuous Pedophilia as Healthy Sex Ed". Way to go Google/Blogspot. I think we'll go back to writing phrases with our words.
Hope yiur are feeling better and thr IV bags are still decreasing.
