headaches redux
The damn things won't go away! I didn't sleep well in SLC really on any given night. Usually middle of the night I was up treating myself to the steam of a hot cup of tea. Forget the Aleves, they didn't work the second night I tried them. Since we returned home on Thursday, I have dipped more regularly into the aspirin with the codeine to some benefit--like a full night's sleep. Also, using a heating pad and sleeping with either side of my head on it. That seems to help. My regular doc--Mike Stones (MS)--is concerned. We did the annual physical on Friday, the upshot of which was that he wants to see me more frequently to keep up with what is happening to me! As if I weren't involved enough in the system already. Anyway I am to discuss the headaches with AbJ tomorrow pre-infusion. MS wants an MRI done of the old bean but says that AbJ may have a particular twist on it. I did manage to talk the regular people out of an unnecessary stick for blood work. AbJ's people will do that through the port tomorrow. Drawback: I have to arrive at infusion with 8 hrs of fasting. Probably not good according to the literature. Apparently, there is a separate certification for dealing with the port that MS's people don't have. Probably more of the same whining after Round 3 starts tomorrow.
