I feel much better today. I am breathing better and am not sleeping 16-20 hours anymore. The oncology doctors are trying a new round of chemotherapy that includes Thalidomide, which I have had before. And another drug that I can't recall the name. Emily and Lindasusan went by my place and picked up the Thalidomide I had on hand so we could get started right away.
The thing is, though, I think I have taken more pills than I ever have in a single day. I took 5 for breakfast, a few more throughout the day then 7 (I think) before bed. That's not counting all the Zofran, Atavan and chemo I've taken by IV. I'm sleepy now but my legs are restless so I'm walking around a bit.
The kidney doctors think that it's still a possibility that I'll need to do some dialysis but we're in "we'll see" mode. Until then, I'm on a restricted "renal" diet here. They have a procedure where they can set me up with a temporary thing in my abdomen and I can do dialysis from home. They are against that as they are afraid about me maybe getting disoriented again. Maybe I can argue them into it.
