Are you getting tired of our dramas yet?

You must be growing weary of all these updates.

But we no sooner got the bone pain taken care of, and it has disappeared now to the point of not even needing any pain medicine (!)--but, yes, we no sooner conquered that than a new problem:

The dreaded fever.

Now we are supposed to check into the hospital because the fever went above the line for NOT going to the hospital.

AND he can't stop coughing. Of course you know I'm thinking "pneumonia".

Anyway...we do have an appointment at 10 am with the Neupogen shot nurse, but after we see her, since the oncologists don't work on weekends, we'll have to use the ER. I'll sit in the ER and wait for his appointment for him, while he waits in the car, because he also isn't supposed to be exposed to germs by sitting in the ER. This is getting so complicated, it's practically "jommetry"!

I'll have my computer, and will post again with the next development.

There's also the chance that the fever is just from the Neupogen drama, but we were told by Dr. Torti last month, that if he gets a fever, not to wait, that even hours can make a life or death difference.

You also know that, had I been running this battalion, he would have been in the ER about 2.5 minutes after discovering the fever, but he (a) didn't tell me about it all night; and (b) is STILL refusing to go because of the 10 am appointment.

You can lead a cowboy to a Neupogen shot, but you can't make him THINK.

(Here's hoping the fever disappears before 10, doesn't come back, and we spend the day at home, instead. You'll be the first to know!)

Love and thanks to you.
