Of Bones, Phones, and Moans

Friday, almost 1 pm right now.

We called the chemo place this morning and told them our tale of woe. They told Bill he simply cannot miss his Neupogen shot today or tomorrow, and that they will do whatever is necessary to get rid of his pain, no matter what it takes.

In the meantime, they told Bill to take a slightly whopping 15 mg of hydrocodone. He thought he was brave at 7.5, and I thought I was playing with fire by recommending that he take 10 mg!

Well, the 15 mg did the trick. He is asleep and his pain is down, but still significant.

I'll write more tonight and tell you what happens after yet another shot of Neupogen. Let's hope they send him home with a morphine drip. And I'm only half kidding!
