  • 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 :lol:

    Hang in there buddy and remember, you're rounding third and headed toward home!

    Peace.

    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. :mrgreen:
    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 :mrgreen:

    I light up that place just by walking thru their door :lol:

    another awesome care package :mrgreen: ! how funny is this shirt???? Matt Cain with a chainsaw. sorry, whoprincess... ;)

    IMG_3447.jpg

    I also got a nice card from the fixer, telling me the Giants suck. what a guy :lol:

    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 :lol:

    "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 shirt is hilarious! Although it brings back some painful memories. :cry:

    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. :lol:

    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 :lol:

    Keep fighting and posting and beating the sh@# out of cancer....Hugs

    Glad to see you are doing good. Been thinking of you and how you are doing with the round of chemo.

    Hugs to you.
