Ive been sick for the past week. As in pretty much bedridden sick. I called my hospice on call nurse friday night for relief. The nurse called in a script for me to see if it would help. They were treating me for a possible infection. While it helped a bit it has not helped entirely. We have an appointment with the nurse tomorrow for some testing and some more med possibilities.
I know Im always talking about meds. What we do is change the dosage, or replace one med for another etc. After a year on these meds Ive built up a tolerance so we are having to try new things to ensure pain management. This past week Ive felt like my insides are going to burst, and Ive had issues breathing deeply. We can speculate UTI, Bladder infection, etc, (which is what they are treating me for now) or at the end of the day we always suspect new tumors. We won't know for sure as they don't do any of the testing once on hospice.
On the antibiotics Ive started to feel better. Ive been up and moving around yesterday and today. Out of bed is progress!! I still have no appetite, as when I eat I start to feel bad again. So thats whats up with me. Ive got some phone calls to return and some people to catch up with (sorry Granny!) as Ive slept the past week almost straight. That is the good news, Im sleeping again! Bad part of that is I take a morning and afternoon nap, and go to bed early. :)
