August 1st 2019

  I have been meaning to write this a few days ago but just haven't. Already I have watched everything worth watching on TV, including Netflix, Kodi, and Prime. So this will be a summary of the last days. Since my last post, I was in bad shape until yesterday when I finally felt decent. Maybe too much so since I put the electrical boxes in the Grillzebo. That didn't go over well.

  I have noticed with the heat I stay high on my O2 levels, sometimes as high as 95, but my heart rate is always about 120, sometimes 130. Today they will switch me back to Metropol from the other one that also controlled my BP as it drops my BP too low. We're talking passing out too low. Cardivol I think the name is. I lost weight now I'm gaining weight but my belly doesn't show it so I'm thinking it is muscle. I weighed 235lbs, up in just 3 days from 231lbs. It was a different scale.  

  I looked at my blood work online and my Plalets are extremely low, and that was before yesterday's chemo. I'm sure they are even lower now. I had a temperature this morning Denise noticed. I'm off balance somewhat or as mom use to say, Swimmy Headed. But today I felt good and today's radiation made 25, only 8 more left unless he adds some. So I added a rail in the Grillzebo to hang some stuff on, hopefully, Denise won't notice. I was going to go by there and she said no, 1 sneeze or 1 handshake could land me in the hospital, so I didn't go.

We finally got a replacement for Puppy and may have figured out what might have killed her. There have been Bears all around us lately. I ain't past shooting one and ain 't that sick. We ended up with a Puppy and Taz approves. She is sweet and smart, always chewing on something and always exploring.

Tomorrow I am nervous about and oddly enough more about the pain that will come with the Gamma Knife. I have no doubt that they can safely burn the tumors out but just in case I gave Denise instructions that if I have brain damage that they cannot repair or will not repair in time to not save me. I have no desire to be a burden on anybody, especially my family.

   Humana sent me a price list of what I need to pay and what I didn't after I called and asked them about the 1984.00 bills UT sent me on the Biopsies. I didn't owe a penny of that. They billed the codes wrong and all they needed to do was resubmit the procedures under the correct codes.
