Well, the fifth inning is complete. This morning I recounted that I had very low bp following the last Velcade push, so the RN suggested a larger bag of fluids, contra dehydration which they suspect contributes to low bp during all of this. Yet, they all agree with me when I say the pharmaceutical/medical world still doesn't know dick about most drug interactions. I saw so much of that when consulting for the state. Patients at the Developmental Center were on so many drugs that they regularly had to take drug holidays to get things sorted. We even went through that with my mother-in-law in her last few years. So with the admixture that I am taking, dehydration is likely to be only one of many variables.
I slept again through the drip, drip, drip. By being asleep I didn't have to refuse the jello that someone brought in for all of us. Yech! My least favorite food, particularly right now when nothing seems very appetizing. However, I did have to accept a free ball pen from some man who was handing them out. But all-in-all the second infusion of the week being so much a shorter expenditure of time is tolerable. However, watch out for tomorrow...
Probably should try some lunch, but just can't conjure up anything that appeals right now.
