Sitting in chemo, first day of the new regimen. Unfortunately his bloodwork yesterday showed his blood count has dropped a bit again, trying to figure out if they can transfuse him today too or if he has to come back Monday. Darn, was hoping the abdominal surgery had fixed that problem.
Well chemo went fine - so far - and they were able to squeeze in one unit of blood today. He will still have to go back for the second unit on Monday but at least he feels less worried about dropping too low over the weekend.
I’m hoping he does well tomorrow because I’m going to be gone all day. My friend who I play vibraphone and glockenspiel for got me a ticket to go with her to NAMM. It’s a big annual conference for music professionals. It’s not open to the public - she got me in through the music school she teaches at. There will be vendor booths (music instrument makers, music software makers etc), demonstrations, musical performances. There will be famous musicians hanging out. (I doubt I’ll recognize most of them). I’ve always wanted to go so I’m really looking forward to it.
I am glad to read that the chemo went fine and he was able to get some blood. At least he will not feel quite as worried over the weekend and can get a second round of blood on Monday.
Have fun at the NAMM! Sounds like it will be a fun day for you...which you highly deserve.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
NAMM was fun - noisy but fun! Tower of Power performed at the end which was great. Super people watching too.
Had a dream last night - I very seldom remember dreams - but in the dream CMM had liver mets.Hoping this does not turn out to be true. He tolerated this first round of chemo very well. MRI is scheduled for next Friday.
FINALLY got CMMs MRI done today! Don’t expect we will hear any results until next week. Now he’s getting blood drawn (to make sure he is holding on to those three units of blood he got). Hoping his scan doesn’t show a tumor as the cause of his hip/leg pain.
Fingers crossed ((kml)) He's very fortunate he has you and undoubtedly knows it.
