Thanksgiving 2009. Dave was in charge of the gravy. I made a couple sweet potato casseroles and, as usual, there was an over abundance of food at the other Maki's. Great dinner and lots of family. Dave was very tired but did just fine until about 45 minutes after dinner. He got dizzy, clammy, sweaty and his BP was 65-70/40s and his HR was 95. Call to clinic but Dave's fighting the whole time... "I don't want to go to ER". MD agreed (this time) and just wants to know if he gets worse or if his heart rate becomes irregular. "Yeah" says Dave. BP 89/58 when we got home and HR 83. 2 glasses of water and I think he'll stay in bed most of the night. Dave will get a mini check tomorrow when he goes in for his Neumega shot.
I'm glad that we won't be in ER tonight. 7 days to chemo. I think rest is a number 1 goal for this week.
Dave,
ReplyDeleteTexas is praying for you again tonight. Keep fighting the "good fight".
Phyllis and Family
Thanks Phyllis! He seems better this morning.
ReplyDeleteIt was easy to be positive in the beginning when side effects were few...now that times are tougher and it's tempting to think "uh ohhhhh", I can't, and won't. Faith and positive thoughts are even more important now, and you definitely have mine. HANG IN THERE. You will win.
ReplyDeleteLove....
Thanks Mimi. We're keeping our eye to the ball. Gonna hit a home run next week! love too!
ReplyDeleteHang in there Dave!
