I waited to see if I'd be picked for the grand jury before asking to be excused.
They said those picked for the grand jury would have to report every Thursday from 8-12 for 3 months. I though that would be manageable. But I wasn't picked and so I asked to be excused.
I'm looking forward to the day I get to serve.
Boyfriend quit chemotherapy.
It's killing him and he can feel it.
The oncologist was supportive.
Boyfriend feels relieved. So do I.
Right now his blood count is so low that he is short of breath and feels exhausted. He's so pale he looks like a walking mannequin.
The doctor decided to not transfuse him since boyfriend did not take chemo. So I hope
his counts go up quickly.
Makes me sad to see him like this.......................he asked me yesterday to pack up and take him to the ocean...............................so that's where we will be going as soon as his blood counts are better and as soon as we have a few weeks between doctor appointments!
I finally went to the surgeon for my eye cyst yesterday.
He's going to remove the cyst, create some sort of skin flap so that it heals without causing a deformity of my eyelid.....................he said the surgery would only take 10 or 15 minutes.........not a big deal..............I just want to get it out of the way......I want all the doctor appointments to go away. I just want time off from doctors and medical facilities and sickness........................pretty soon that will happen........just need to hang in a little longer!

I am so sorry about what your boy friend is going through. I know what you mean about wanting time off from doctors and medical facilities and sickness. My husband had a PE two years ago that almost killed him. He was put on blood thinner and was finally able to leave the hospital after one week. After 6 months his doctor said the blood thinner was no longer needed and to just take 325 mg of aspirin every day. Seven months later he started feeling pretty bad at work and went to the company doctor. His bg was tested and was well over 800! He was rushed to the ER at the local hospital. After 3 days he stabilized and could come home. The following month he started feeling crappy again and went to the doctor. Tests revealed he had another PE that was even worse than the first one! Subsequent tests showed he had the factor V Leiden mutation. He will be on Warfarin for the rest of his life. Three times within a relatively short period of time I almost lost him. I am so grateful he is still with me but I have to admit I am sick to death of hospitals and doctor visits. I am hoping everything works out for you.
chemotherapy is pretty hard on a person, or so I've been told. I don't know if I would take it or not, maybe I would just decide to get dead and move on, some decisions are hard to make.
Billy some of the time chemotherapy saves people or pro longs their life. Some of the time it kills them. I really believe it was killing boyfriend. The decision to quit was a difficult one for him.
We are hopeful that the 6 treatments he did get was enough to kill any cancer cells that may have been there!
Gosh Aspen your husband really is lucky to be alive! Sounds like a really stressful and scary time for you! I'm glad that things turned out ok for you guys!
