So I have decided I’m one of the worst bloggers 🤦‍♀️, so bear with me, I’m still trying to figure out this site. Anyway, today has been a long day. Taylor has been here with me for a month. Not only did he help me a ton with my kitties and everything else, it was so nice to spend time with him. I am going to miss him something horrible. They are finally letting Dave out of the hospital tomorrow (he has been in there 3 1/2 weeks)……but, he has to go to my moms house because she is closer to the hospital and she doesn’t have stairs. I’m so glad I have parents that love him as much as I do and would do absolutely anything for him (and me). But I’m lonely, I really want off this ride. Dave is having a very hard time walking, why, well nobody knows. He also got a small lump on his neck and it ended up being MRSA, so we are treating that as well. Right now his white blood cells are are coming up and the chemo that has been stuck in his system is down to .08, so it should be gone by Sunday. Dave has a genetic marker that made him reject this last chemo. Chemo is not supposed to stay in your system for a long time. They like it in and back out….well with this last chemo drug they used, it shut his kidneys down and they have had to use a reversal drug to try and get it out of his system, they have been working on getting it out of his system for 3 1/2 weeks. His kidneys have started functioning, not at 100%, but functioning. My theory is the chemo settled in his leg joints – knees, ankles, feet and that’s why he can’t walk, but I guess we will wait and see what happens.
