Followup

Curt has been doing pretty well since his treatment last Friday. At 1:30 PM on Saturday we returned to the upper campus of OHSU for his Neupogen-type shot to start rebuilding his white blood cells. The nurse recommended he stay away from crowds for at least a week (she gave him some masks to wear sometimes, but he hasn't used them yet). It was interesting that his weight was up about 8 lbs.!. Since then, it has returned to about 159 lbs. We did stop at Costco in Albany on the way home for some shopping and ice cream. He napped for about 1 1/2 hours when we got home and watched TV that night. He was happy that he had little, if any, pain and was able to read a book during the treatment and not have his eye bother him. It has continued that way so far.
So Curt did not go to church on Sunday (crowd). He fertilized his flowers, etc., outside in the morning, listened to a book on CD, napped, mowed the grass, and watched some TV. Monday we went to a friend's house from about 10 AM to 5 PM. We took about an hour walk (the weather has been great since we returned), ate and visited. Later that evening we went to the tennis club and hit some tennis balls for about 45 min. No naps this day.
Tuesday morning Curt played some singles tennis, but did not complete a set. He said his legs seemed rubbery. He cancelled his dentist appointment for that day because of the possiblity of infection (he takes his temperature every day). I drove him around for several errands in the afternoon. He had finished his followup anti-nausea pills the previous day and his stomach starting feeling a little queasy. He took a backup anti-nausea pill in the afternoon. They had him get 3 different anti-nausea prescriptions to use if necessary. He feels better if he eats or drinks a little. Tuesday night our neighbors had us over for some Gluten Free cake.
I worked at the Thrift Shop this morning. Curt said he did not sleep well last night (too many trips to the bathroom). He listened to a book and napped a little. He went to the store on his own this afternoon to return something and is napping again. There is a makeup coed softball game Friday night at 8:40 PM and another game this Sunday. He wants to go to those and might play. I think he might go to church Sunday too.
