I feel a blog coming on, in fact it has been coming on since about mid afternoon yesterday.
Yesterday was chemo day and it started badly when I tried to wake Elaine up for her morning meds. That became bigger than BenHur but she did eventually get up and take her meds and drink her morning tea. During that period she was quite her usual self or what has become her usual self. So I headed off for my dermatologist who removed a small piece of my back for testing, then returned home and picked up madam. Off to Hollywood we went where they started her new chemo treatment. First the premeds all going well at this stage, then they tried to wake her for the main event and she would not wake up. She in fact was unconscious.. Next thing we have about 10 people rushing around, giving her injections to wake her up and checking that nothing dramatic was wrong. Eventually they did wake her up and after a while were able to complete the chemo. It appears that Elaine had become overloaded with the opiates which are a major part of her anti-pain meds. So last night was spent her at Hollywood for observation and as she is still very confused and they want do lots of tests she will be staying here st least for tonight.
A little scary but I don't think there is any serious unexpected drama, but we will find out when we speak to dr Troon.
Oh gawd, what a kerfuffle! Hopefully nothing too serious. Hope the bit cut out of your back is straightforward. Lots of love as always Jx
