10:33AM -- Larry is still sleeping, although I'm going in to wake him as soon as I post this to the blog. Not much in the way of news here. He slept most of the night. Thank God! I think he turned the TV off around midnight or 1-ish. I'll take him to dialysis around 12:15PM today and then I have an appointment to put new tires all the way around on the van at 2:30PM. I'll write more as soon as I get the chance. I'll be sure to post on whether or not he needed the transfusion today. I'll change his pain patch (Fentanyl 100 mcg/h) this morning as well.
He didn't eat a lot for dinner last night. He had the Zuppa Toscana (sausage soup) with 2 garlic breadsticks. A salad came with it, but he didn't eat it. He's not a bread person -- or at least he hasn't been in the past -- but he ate both of them. More later...
11:10AM -- Dialysis called. Larry's CBC (hemaglobin) was up from Saturday at 10.1 to 10.3, so he doesn't need the transfusion. That's good news. So, he's not going to dialysis today. He'll go this Saturday. (Sorry Lyn...lol) He needed a nausea med as soon as I woke him. (I can tell by the way he moves his mouth and face, whether or not he needs one now.) Haven't changed his patch yet, but I'm waiting for him to eat breakfast which consists of a bowl of Cheerios with Splenda and 2% milk; coffee; and Sunny D.
Haven't gotten the tickets and parking permit for the concert next weekend. Maybe today. Be back later...
01:46PM -- Still haven't gotten the tickets yet. Larry only ate about half of his cereal and drank almost all the Sunny D and a few sips of his coffee. Not much. But, he just got up and is on his computer. Still has a little pain, but I just changed his pain patch. He also took a dose of his Dilaudid around 11-ish and that's kicked in, so he should be okay for a while. I know...I know...Famous last words.
