ARCHIVES - 1996 to FOREVER

Karen's CT went well today. The exam was marred by a burst secondary failure in the tube used to access her port, but no problem with assessing her disease....

Which, as the radiologist said, was "stable".

Which means that he's unwilling to make an assesment.

But that's OK, because that's the job of the oncologist... who we will talk with Monday.

He has a coupla choices... treat it as on ongoing process, and prescribe more chemo... or wait and see it it starts growing again.

I prefer the first choice, of course.

Karen's life is the most precious of things to me.

But I can understand the second choice too.

Either choice I will concede to the man who knows a helluva lot more about the disease than I do, or that I want to.

The day begin with me getting up more or less on time and getting Karen up too.

After showering, I went on to work, and Karen followed me.

I was in the biopsy room today, and I did get to do a coupla exams. One of them, on a patient that had about the same disease as Mom had, and it started about the same time. Essentially, the flu....

This patient wound up having several secondary infectious processes, some of which benefitted from drainage procedures... and we instituted yet another such procedure today.

Her daughter had the same birthday as I do, heh, but her mom is ten years younger.

I was planning on staying and working until 16:30, but another tech, who had done me a great favpr a few days ago, was going to be sent home because they had no patients in x-ray... so I went home instead, and she filled in for me.

Debbie came up from Wichita and went to Harrah's with karen and her friends; nobody made any money, but it was really good seeing Debbie.

This is going to be an early night for me... I did get a good nights' sleep last night, but it was still not nearly enough/ I will sleep enough tomorrow to make up for it.
