Hmmm. What is THIS all about?

Our battleship boy suddenly came down with EXTREEEEEME bone pain last night (Wednesday night). It wasn't related to his shot of last week, the oncology place said, but he thinks it WAS related to a shot he got last week.

They said no way.

He said, "Way."

There you go.

He could hardly sleep even with pain meds. By this morning, he was literally YELLING in pain! We got to the clinic for his magnesium drip, and the oncologist w-a-s-n't t-h-e-r-e, so his bone pain has not been addressed.

So we don't know yet what the bone pain is all about. It's his pelvis, lower back mostly, and his chest bones.

So they took his blood at the clinic, and it's all goofed up.

His magnesium was the lowest ever, and he had to get a double drip! I asked if his blood problems could have caused the bone pain, and they said absolutely no way.

Cowboy Bill: "Way."

His blood was messed up in the following areas, which I have yet to google and am clueless regarding these terms: Red cells: too low. Hemoglobin: too low. Something called HCT: too low. HGB: too low. MCV: too high (WAY too high); MCH: too high. MCHC: too high. Platelets: too low.

And none of that means squat to me, until I google those letters.

Anyway, he is surviving by pain pills, which he also ran out of today, but a different doctor (thankfully!) signed an RX so he could have pain meds.

Well?

We're going to just ride the trail tonight and see what the bones do. If it gets crazy, I'm taking him to a doctor, whether he whines or not.

If it goes away, I stand corrected and so do all the chemo center employees--maybe the shot had a delayed effect from last week.

((((((doubtful!)))))))

But I will post tomorrow, so you can know whatever we know, in case you're following this new little drama.

Love to all!
