December 8 Final Update

If you’ve been reading today I think you’ll see how my day has been going. My chemo treatment was uneventful – except they now use the mediport instead of search for a vein in my arm or back of the hand.

The chemo load today was the full load. I’m trying to get Neupogen shots for Monday through Thursday of next week, and they’re giving me some resistance. They seem to have forgotten who they are dealing with. Although part of the mix is the nurse I used to go to for things like this has left so I’m dealing with somewhat untrained personnel. I’m going to have to train them.

I guess I’m going to have to do some digging on how to heat myself up.

I don't know if this will help or not, but a couple of years ago, Reb got into a hot tub that was pretty darn hot. I think the water temp was around 106. He stayed in for about 40 minutes and it raised his body temp enough that he was pretty darn sick about an hour later. Do you know anyone who has a hot tub that would let you raise the temp and give it a try?

Rachel ran into some Native Americans at college and they invited her to a sweat lodge one weekend. I don't know how hot those things can get. I wonder how hot a sauna gets?
