What do they put in that stuff?


The last few days have been all about appointments. I have another one today and another on Wednesday as a matter of fact! I will be the first to tell you that I am THE most unorganized person in my family. I am not a list maker, budget creator, stick to a set schedule kind of a guy. I have spent alot of my life just kind of "living in the moment". Having to remember every date and time for all of these appointments is really going to take some effort on my part. If you miss a chemo treatment I don't think there's a re-do!

Finally got my BARD implantable POWER PORT! The procedure is all about hooking you up with a temporary line into your veins right around your heart. This way when you get your chemo it gets pushed through your system quicker. At least that's what I think! Don't read this for professional advice I AM NOT A DOCTOR! But I have played Dr. before! The nurses were cool. One nurse even had to shave the top half of my chest hair off. I was hoping she could get the patches growing on my shoulders but she wasn't having any of it! Looks like the Doctor started on the left side and then changed his mind for whatever reason and put it on my upper right side of my chest. I have a pinpoint bruise where I think they might have tried to find a vein and maybe gave up! Who knows!

When I had my colonoscopy done I remember passing out as I rolled over onto my side. This time I was determined to try and see how long I could fight to stay awake! I was wheeled into the operating room at 6:55 p.m. The last time I saw the clock it was 6:58 and that was all she wrote! Even trying to piece it together now it's really foggy and unclear. The sequence of events tend to flow together. What do they put in that stuff? It is crazy how you can be awake one second and just zombified the next! It can be scary if you think about the risk ANY time you get put under by anesthesia. Probably use spellcheck on that one! They suggest cloudscape instead of colonoscopy! Is that a heavenly reference or what? Kaleidoscope is suggested as well? Weird.

I am out of here! Got to go to another damn appointment! Garytime is quickly changing into doctortime. I object! lol! Well I really have no choice now do i? I will post some more tonight when I get hme! Hope everyone is doing good! I am!
