Can they run beer through the pump between treatments? I'd at least ask. And if that's a no, just drink beer at room temperature like the Europeans do and pretend you're across the Pond.
Rob, I'm amazed at your attitude through all of this and your continuous positive outlook. I admire your courage and sense of humor you have exhibited throughout. Keep it up and go raise holy hell with those folks. Having been involved with almost every aspect of a year and half illness for my father, one thing I came out of that was, everyone who goes to the hospital needs to have a "patient advocate" advocating on their behalf. The number of potential mistakes I witnessed and stepped in on to avoid or just being able to be there to tell everyone coming into the room, doctors and nurses, to wash their freakin hands for crying out loud! End of rant. So you need to be your biggest advocate. If you want some help, let me know. I've never been to Utah and I could bring some Faithful Ale
Hang in there buddy and remember, you're rounding third and headed toward home!
Nothing like raising a little hell. I read somewhere that the patients that get the best medical care are the ones that make pains in the ass of themselves. So go be a pain in the ass. :twisted:
Srsly, I hope they can resolve the pump issue fast and make this a little easier for you.
I didn't need to play the pain in their ass card....waltzed in there at 9:00....got a new pump....cranked up the flow rate and I'll be DC'ed for the weekend
I light up that place just by walking thru their door

Thanks for the laugh, it really did brighten my day.
another awesome care package ! how funny is this shirt???? Matt Cain with a chainsaw. sorry, whoprincess...
I also got a nice card from the fixer, telling me the Giants suck. what a guy
When I got my chemo pump DC'ed today, my BP was 75/45 :shock: . I said "no way." I could swear that's life threatening....but my doc said my pulse was fine...told me to go home and drink a cup of coffee and some gatorade
"Like high blood pressure, extremely low blood pressure can also be dangerous. Very low blood pressure causes insufficient blood flow to the brain, resulting in symptoms such as lightheadedness, fainting or confusion. Systolic readings below 90, or diastolic readings below 60 would be considered abnormally low and would require treatment to help bring pressure levels back up to the normal range."

That's normal BP for me...wait...that explains a lot...doesn't it?
That is a very cool shirt...just in time for Halloween :thumbup:

That shirt is hilarious! Although it brings back some painful memories.
Well, I always have fairly low blood pressure but I'd be rattled if mine got that low. :wtf: Shouldn't you be in shock or something? On the other hand, I'd like it if my doctor told me to drink more coffee since I drink it all the time anyway.

Morning Rob! Hope you're feeling feisty this morning after watching PJ20 on PBS last night. Thinking about touring? I know I am! Have a great weekend and be well.
How ya doing, Rob? Checking in. Looks like the roller-coaster continues as blood-pressure indicates you should be admitted and they send you home :? but at least you got seen to quickly and could get out of there...or was that incase you keeled over from the low blood pressure and they didn't want responsibility
Keep fighting and posting and beating the sh@# out of cancer....Hugs
Katy xx
it is a damn roller coaster :x ....got DC'ed from chemo on friday and unwisely drank a bunch of beers wile watching PJ20 that night....felt like crap the next morning. I took it pretty easy the rest of the weekend but still don't feel great today. not terrible; just not good.
I need to figure out how long the massive 46 hour dose of chemo will be affecting me. luckily, I don't get any more until a week from wednesday

I got a text from a friend....it asked how I was doing....then she added "tell me true"
it got me thinking as to how I am REALLY doing. I think I'm somehow going thru those 7 stages of grief. you know...denial, anger, acceptance, etc. Altho most of the time I'm a happy guy just doing my thing and doing what needs to be done, there ARE times when I'm pretty fucking pissed off about this whole thing . I mean, with my new "appliance" my life is irrevocably changed. I've said "you'd never know if you didn't know," but I know....every waking minute, I know.
well, it's only been 7 weeks and I have years ahead of me. I guess I'm coping well....it's just that sometimes I'm pissed. I realize people have way worse stuff happen to them but a friend told me "yeah, we all know that when bad stuff happens but it really doesn't change what you're going thru"
OK....as we say on this board...."end of rant"

Nothing wrong with venting some frustration here, man, - you have good reason to and we're all ears. Take care.

I feel a lot better knowing that sometimes you're pissed about it, along with any other emotions you may have, whether it's grief, depression, denial, or whatever. I'd be kind of worried if all you told us was "Everything's great!" Rant all you need. We know you by now. It's not going to change anyone's regard for you.
Acceptance is a process. You've had a life-altering change and I'd expect the process to take time.
bah...I keep forgetting to check in with you! My apologies. :(
Glad to see you're still hanging in there, keeping us posted on what's going on :thumbup:...a friend of mine that was diagnosed with cancer basically shut everybody out of her life, so I don't know what to say, except for 'I'm here if you need someone to talk to'.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

"I'll get by with a little from my friends, I'll get by with a little help from my friends, I'll get high with a little help from my friends......................." And what is it about sleeping dogs, you cant keep them down or something like that? Hey Rob, really, you deserve every rant you feel to muster. That we haven't seen one in quite some time is a testament to your fortitude and fighting spirit. And I know these are just words but really, you have been nothing short of amazing in how you have handled yourself. I have had family members who decided they would just, literally, lay down and die. And that is what they did. For two and a half fucking years! What they could have done or experienced with that time. You have chosen to fight and to live and to beat this shit. And how you have chosen to do it is truly admirable. Easy? Hell no. Feel like dying some days? Sure, I bet you do. Get depressed and wonder why me? Absolutely. But you keep on keeping on. Why? Because me thinks you have an incredible spirit and see the beauty in the everyday. And you can still take the ups with the downs and laugh and find pleasure and see the way the tree bends. And think its special. I saw the sparkle in your eyes in that photo with your PJ Giants jersey and your friends in Vancouver. I saw it and it inspired me. You're full of life and winning. Even if you don't feel like it or your Utah football team and Giants are losing. When I first started reading this thread, I knew there would be times and posts like this. But I still believe in you and I think you know, we're all here for you and you're not walking this road alone. Yes, you have to deal and wake up everyday in your new reality but we're with you. Even if you don't feel it. And you are certainly entitled to feeling like you do and ranting about it. No matter how cold the winter, there's a spring time ahead. And it's okay. It's okay, it's okay. So hang in, rant and rage and scream and yell and stamp your feet and cry. It's okay. Just don't kick your dog or break any plates! MY Rant over.
Did you get the envelope with the duct tape I sent you?
Positive Chi and hope for better days ahead coming your way.

"I'll get by with a little from my friends, I'll get by with a little help from my friends, I'll get high with a little help from my friends......................." And what is it about sleeping dogs, you cant keep them down or something like that? Hey Rob, really, you deserve every rant you feel to muster. That we haven't seen one in quite some time is a testament to your fortitude and fighting spirit. And I know these are just words but really, you have been nothing short of amazing in how you have handled yourself. I have had family members who decided they would just, literally, lay down and die. And that is what they did. For two and a half fucking years! What they could have done or experienced with that time. You have chosen to fight and to live and to beat this shit. And how you have chosen to do it is truly admirable. Easy? Hell no. Feel like dying some days? Sure, I bet you do. Get depressed and wonder why me? Absolutely. But you keep on keeping on. Why? Because me thinks you have an incredible spirit and see the beauty in the everyday. And you can still take the ups with the downs and laugh and find pleasure and see the way the tree bends. And think its special. I saw the sparkle in your eyes in that photo with your PJ Giants jersey and your friends in Vancouver. I saw it and it inspired me. You're full of life and winning. Even if you don't feel like it or your Utah football team and Giants are losing. When I first started reading this thread, I knew there would be times and posts like this. But I still believe in you and I think you know, we're all here for you and you're not walking this road alone. Yes, you have to deal and wake up everyday in your new reality but we're with you. Even if you don't feel it. And you are certainly entitled to feeling like you do and ranting about it. No matter how cold the winter, there's a spring time ahead. And it's okay. It's okay, it's okay. So hang in, rant and rage and scream and yell and stamp your feet and cry. It's okay. Just don't kick your dog or break any plates!
Did you get the envelope with the duct tape I sent you?
Positive Chi and hope for better days ahead coming your way.
Peace!
