A simple infection can often zap one's strength.
Sounds great that they ID'd the infection.

Hope you get a boost in energy. In my prayers.

I can't express how wonderful it would be to get treatment in my home town - just a few miles away - rather than having to drive to Houston. I'm really hoping we can make this work out.

Wow, that's great news! It should be allot easier on the both of you this way. Sorry I haven't popped in lately - my abxzone mail isn't being delivered - so I thought the site was down again.

Well, I'll just double my prayers! I'm glad your spirits still seem good - that's a hell of a ride your going through. Keep on trucking bud!

Still fighting off this bronchial infection. Can't continue with chemo 'till I get over it.
I'm going to see my primary care physician on Monday (he was out of town all last week) to get his input on dealing with it.
That's pretty much it for now...

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, TQ.

I hope that you fight it off eventually. Keeping hopes up for you, bud!

Griff · 07-26-2008, 10:32 PM

You are still in my thoughts and prayers TQ. Hope you fight it off soon so you can continue your treatments.

Much better this morning...the cycle of fever spikes broke yesterday and - in an oddly sudden way - in the last couple of hours I am coughing less.

Unless something unforeseen pops up I'd say chemo is on for Tuesday.

Outstanding! Are you able to eat and drink adequately now?

Best,

Very much so. I just finished two eggs sunny side up and a couple of sausage patties. I had meatloaf and green beans last night and all through the last few days I've been having fresh fruit and other good snacking stuff.

Thank you, sir.

**k0NG0** · 07-27-2008, 01:17 PM

I love the good news, bud.

Good news, dang infections are too common from hospitals. I'm worried every time my mom has to have blood drawn! She has to go in for blood tests for her diabetes every couple months. I dunno what's going on, but hospitals have some NASTY bugs that reside in there. Go in for a blood test, and come home with flesh eating bacteria!!! I had a friend that had a hernia operation, and he got a really bad infection. They had to leave the hole open and pack in bleach soaked gauze every few hours to kill it! Talk about PAINFUL, he'd pass out EVERY TIME!!! He now has a WICKED SCAR where his belly button used to be.

Anyways, glad to hear you're doing better, and hope the nasty bug is on it's way out. You had to mention food, now I'm hungry!
