Well, I thought that we had made it and would not have a hospital visit in March. We had one in January and one in February. However, yesterday, March 24 we checked into a suite on the eighth floor overlooking the parking garage. We are higher up this time (2nd floor the other times) and have a much nicer view.
This visit centers around issues with the left lung. When we left home yesterday afternoon, his BP was 80/50, heart rate 133, grayish in color, extreme shortness of breath, massive headache, and extremely adverse to smells. He has a condition known as "white out" of the lung. This could be a sign of change in status of the cancer, pneumonia, collapse of the airways, or bacteria/infection.
He also in need of some blood. Isn't it strange that they constantly take several vials of blood every few hours, but yet he is in need of blood. He calls the ladies that take the blood-"vampires" or"Twilight Wantabees".
He has been rather lifeless today until a few minutes ago. Even in illness, men retain control of the remote. He was running the dial and found Cardinal baseball and the channel that would carry the NCAA basketball games. He seems content. At least his testerone is still intact!
God's blessings on this sunny/dreary, rainy day!
