First off, the MRI's last night went well. My nurse gave me morphine to tolerate the test and re-upped part way through. I was so glad that Athena and Ken waited for me so I could share the weird dreams I had during the tests. Hollace had come earlier and brought pretty yellow flowers.
The doctors took me off the morphine drip last night and gave me longer acting narcotics. I still woke up twice in pain, though. The nurses changed my various IVs. I had an anxiety attack this morning when the nursing assistant weighed me, as I lost 10 more pounds since the beginning of the month. I havent weighed this little since middle school. I know I haven't been eating well in the hospital, but I tend to be given pain drugs right before a meal. Also, neither pain nor morphine are helpful in eating this hospital food.
Today's plan:
- possible CT scan of lungs ( or having the previous records accessed)
- lung biopsy.
- Find out what MRI said
- Psych consult for anxiety
- Get prescriptions for pain control and blood thinners
- Meet with physical therapy folks
- Go home
Also this week's plan:
- Wednesday: radiation setup for breast cancer
- Thursday: chemo for sarcoma
- Friday: go to orthopedic oncologist
It is a lot.
