I will likely be admitted to the hospital tomorrow. But you never know. My CBC on Wednesday indicated that my blood chemistry is good for round 2 of the chemo.
I asked the coordinator why they weren't admitting me on Wednesday and her response confused me. She said there was no one in the clinic who could write the orders. What? There isn't a physician in the out patient clinic? Even if there isn't a physician in the clinic to write the orders, there is a 5 member team of physicians that run the floor. They're a team. They cover the admitted patients and the clinic. Surely one of the 5 can take a moment to write the admit orders. I'm confused, this really makes no sense. They are very busy, I know. Last year when I was admitted they complained of how busy they were and mentioned 23 patients. When I was admitted last month they had 32. Are they not treating me because they are busy? Are they not treating me because they know there is no rush? Last year they would rush me in every time my blood chemistry was clear for the next treatment. Meh. I don't care, but I am confused.
I have had the pleasure of staying at home for so many days. It's been so nice. Today has been particularly nice. Max and I relaxed in the hammock for half an hour. I cleaned the house, Max practiced his penmanship, and we played Wii Sports. Emily is on her way home from work now, Papa Murphy's in tow. I plan to coax her into some hammock time before the day is over. Days don't get much better than this.
It's alright if tomorrow breaks the combo of nice days at home. I didn't expect these days. They have been wonderful. I plan to treat this as a business trip. My career required travel often enough; sometimes I would be away for a day, other times 10 days. I plan to be back home soon enough. Even if it takes months, it'll just be a long business trip where I have plenty of visits from the people I love.
I broke the combo. The combo where every paragraph starts with the word I. Did you see that? It happened right there in the last paragraph. That is ridiculous. Combinations are being broken left and right. Hopefully nothing breaks my good day combo. I've had good days every day for a long time now.
Gavan and Amy brought lunch for Emily and me yesterday. We had a great time, Max permitted it; though he tried to deny it at one point with xboxery. Gavan and Amy are also invited to live in the main building at the compound when I finally get around to starting my commune.
It's time to go and enjoy the rest of this day. The picture of the day: Gavan and Amy, this photo was taken in a hat shop we visited during a trip Emily and I recently took with Gavan and Amy to Las Vegas. Gavan should always wear that hat. I regret to inform you that he did not purchase it.
I agree wholeheartedly on the hat. Might make a nice Christmas gift.
ReplyDeleteMy dad recently went through some really big medical stuff and it can be very curious how things are handled sometimes. Sickness is rough enough without roadblocks, poor communication, paperwork, and scheduling. This doesn't sound bad yet and I hope it doesn't get bad, though maybe you enjoy something about which you can be curious :)
