Well, on Thursday afternoon, I started getting sick and could not keep anything down and was having bad pain in the pubic area. So, I called Duke and they said I had to go to a local ER. Since I was being so sick, I went by the emergency crew. Danny could not drive and take care of me too. Anyway, they could not find a nausea medication that would work and I kept going to sleep until I got sick again. Finally, phernergan worked and then the xray did not show any fracture or anything, so I was sent home on percocet. I don't remember getting home, eating supper or going to bed and not much of yesterday. Today, is a little better, at least I'm not getting sick any longer and the high temperatures are gone. I called Duke again on the pain and they said just keep taking the percocet, yea, right, and keep on being doped up. Not if Tylenol for Arthritis works, that's a good medicine believe me. I can't take Motrin or Aleve. So here we go with the Tylenol again. I have an appt. on Monday because of my tumor markers changing so my medication will change but I bet they will also be sending me for 5-10 days of radiation therapy for the bone pain. We shall see. One of my doctors at Duke, Dr. Kimberly Blackwell was written up in the paper today on Duke's discovery of two drugs that work better together for breast cancer. Alanna, my grand daughter, is doing better I believe, poor baby, she has really been thru it. She's a very brave 14 year old. It's something when you lose your gall bladder, pancreas, spleen and appendix all in one surgery. She was on a medically induced coma but woke up anyway....shows she a real fighter like her Nana! LOL!!! Well, guess I will sign off for now and probably update again either Monday or Tuesday.
