(no subject)

Got more information last night. The MRI is today and Skeeter has to be NPO for the next 6 hours (no food or drink) and he last at yesterday at noon. Crabby is not even close to what he is feeling. We have decided to hold his leukemia treatment for a couple of weeks in order for his counts to get higher and some effect to start on the blood clot. The next phase of cancer treatment is pretty rough and lasts three weeks (then we are close to the easy part:) ) and is very rough on his body so since he will be also battling the clot - it is best to have him at his best.

The treatment for the clot is difficult. They do not invade on the brain so we have to only use drugs. They are using a low-count heprin (stuff they give stroke victems) and we will be giving the same stuff at home. It is a subcutanious injection and will happen twice a day .... for THREE MONTHS. (this on top of regular treatment). There will be followup MRI's and MRB's and CatScans till it is gone and then every couple of months to make sure it stays gone.

School starts Thursday and J is FINALLY doing a hospital stay so I can get to the first day of classes. Being here this much is really starting to stress me. Luckily for me, I have the same TA in Botany as I had last semister for Skeeter's leukemia diagoisis... she already contacted me with the syllabus.

My god. I am angry and I am tired and I hurt... alot.

On a somewhat brighter note. catnapping and I are going to see "A Home at the End of the World" tonight at 9:30 at Westgate and get dinner before hand (7:30 pm at Applebees). Anyone want to join us?

Something lighter weight :)

A little humor from catnapping to pass on to my Gothic friends.
