Just kEeP swimming. .

Wowsa! Besides celebrating 18 wonderful years of having my brat, this week has been from hell. . mostly.

This is how they add morphine to his pump! ouch!

 I already posted about our ER visit on Thursday. On Friday we got in to his pain Dr and we were able to get his morphine in his pump upped to a higher dosage. So now he has a stronger dosage,
which has been a blessing. We both had no sleep for five days. Although he still has pain and he still isn't sleeping well it is a lot better than what it what before. His strong attitude still lives within him, but he is getting beat down mentally. Although, the last few days I have seen a happier him.

Today we went to Huntsman and they read the scan results from the ER visit. The pancreas has stayed the same (WHOOHOOO) but the liver felt the need to grow more lesions and the older ones got a little larger. So... that just means it is time for a different treatment. We WILL find the one that works for him...but the process of elimination gets hard. He will go on chemo next week. It may be a chemo/trial treatment or simply chemo. Pros and cons to both.. He does not want to go on chemo, it really isn't a friendly drug. But the main goal needs to shut this crap down, so he is once again being T-Bone strong and fighting through it. I love this man!! We came home, in good spirits. Just trying to figure out what the best treatment will be. Of course we were not happy with the results, but we were not shocked.

Just waiting to be discharged :)

Tonight around 9 Rich could no longer feel his right side of his body. He got out of bed to use the restroom and fell. His leg decided to poop out. It was scary to say the least. Although he was certain it was some type of malfunction from his pain pump the on call pain Dr told us to head to our local ER to rule out stroke. ScArY? Um, ya!! So off we went. Luckily we were not there too long, and stroke was ruled out right away. The ER Dr agreed it was most likely caused from the pain pump. whew! But now he isn't suppose to use it, and he needs it!! We will head back to Huntsman in the morning to get it looked at. If all goes well we will head to the gorge for a little get a away. If not, we will just go some other time. :)





Once we got home we noticed a FLOOD going on in the back yard. Awesome! Another pipe issue. Last year a bunch of people and $1,000 later we had grass in our yard and it looked great. Due to digging dogs and a few broken pipes we are down to half grass and half dirt. :( But, it is what it is!
We just shut off the main water valve and we are going to bed. Not going to sweat the small stuff! If I do you would need to come visit me in the loony bin!


 ON A HAPPY NOTE, my kiddo dyed her hair to show support for her daddy!! :) It Is purple!!

I know I am a broken record, but we really are good. Happy to be home. Huntsman in the morning again to find out what the crap is going on with the pump. Good night blog followers... if I have any. haha.
