Just an outpatient follow up today. The counts continue to climb and it looks like I'll be able to start my next round of chemo a day or two early. I pretty much had a headache from about Wednesday evening until this morning. They are currently pumping me full of caffeine (did you know that there is actually an IV drip of caffeine all you coffee drinkers?!) and it seems to be doing the trick. For a time we were unsure of the cause, but it seems to be residual effects from Monday's spinal tap. So now I know that I need to load up on caffeine before and after future spinal taps to avoid this . . .
Thanks to all who continue to check in.

ReplyDelete"This pretentious ponderous collection of religious rock psalms is enough to prompt the question, 'What day did the Lord create Spinal Tap, and couldn't he have rested on that day too?'"
"This tasteless cover is a good indication of the lack of musical invention within. The musical growth of this band cannot even be charted. They are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry."
"That's just nitpicking, isn't it?"
Oh, wait, you meant an ACTUAL Spinal Tap. Sorry. :)
