Thread: Tumor

Got my old 12,000 BTU window unit from my son's garage. Got it cleaned and checked out. Still sitting in my truck in driveway. Removed rose bushes from front flowerbed so they'd be out of the way. Trying to clean the area inside in front of the window now. Been hard with Debbie in the living room all the time. All this extra stuff from our move is in the way a lot. She doesn't want to sell or give away anything. Yesterday was a workout for me with very little moved.

Got the window unit installed and living room is cold, temp set at 55 degrees as Debbie wants it.
I've got a heart doctor visit today. See if I can pick up oxygen parts for her machine while close to the hospital.

Nope, on the parts. They are part of the hospital group in Memphis so no going to the Desoto County hospital. Parts will ship through fed x.
Doctor visit not so good. Been taking care of Debbie and not myself. Heart function down from a year ago. Need to walk more if I can find the time. Next visit is 6 months.

First doctor visit after the congestive heart failure my heart was at 22%, below borderline for a pacemaker. I didn't want it and worked hard for 6 months getting it up to 48%. Lots of work and after 1 year it was up to 55%. The acid reflex as doctors called it, tumor, esophagus cancer, chemo infusions and having to care for my wife more this last visit showed my heart at 22% again. So the walking has started again. Since it's hot outdoors I walk stores pushing a shopping cart for an hour or more, may walk 2, sometimes 3 stores in a day.
Someone said, get a treadmill, save going to stores. They don't last very long outdoors, even under a carport. I've had 3 free ones in the past 7 years.

West clinic visit went well, doctor is pleased with the lab work. Started round 3 of the chemo pills. CT will be on 7/25 visit to see what progress is doing. Walked 3 stores on the way home. All items I wanted were out of stock.

Carried Debbie to ER Saturday morning, UTI, dizzy. They found low blood pressure, low red blood count. She got a transfusion and a few drugs. Doing better for now. I cooked fried okra with cubed potatoes, butter beans, fried tomato and cornbread for dinner last night. We both ate a plate full. I didn't get out of bed all night long.
Wish I could go fishing, but not in this heat.

West clinic tomorrow for CT to see what cancer is doing since being on the chemo pills.

Great check up, up to 144 lbs, CT showed no sign of cancer. Continue chemo pills.
