What round is this anyway???

     My guy hurts!!!  I'm so tired of watching him try to hide the pain.  Jason has lost almost all function in his left arm now. He has to hold it when he walks and he gets horrible pain in it.

     Sunday night we spent the night in the ER. At about 7pm Jason was taking his meds when one pill got stuck in his throat. He did not chose on it, it just didn't go all the way down. He was able to breathe but not eat or drink anything. At 1am he decided it was time to go to the hospital and see what they can do.
     I get that with each new person that comes in our room they need to know what they are dealing with......but there has to be a better way than for us to explain it over and over! Anyway, they took him for a CT and the woman man handled his head.....not good! If he told me this before she left the room, I would have handled it! The CT showed that the pill had gone down, but the sensation of it being there could still be bothering him. He tried some water and it stayed down!!! By 6:30am we were back home and in bed. Jason now has a pain patch and liquid pain meds.

     Today we went to Jewish hospital for his PET scan. The nurse was AMAZING! She told Jason that his comfort was most important! She put 2 pads down and propped his head up! He said it was so nice that he slept through the 20 minute scan! Our drug store is working on getting some of the meds Jason needs....but for some reason they don't want to let this location stock the meds. The pharmacist is doing extra paperwork to try to get it. What does this mean? It means we drove to Colerain in rush hour to get his pain meds!

     While waiting for his meds, the GI dr called to set up an appointment to have a feeding tube placed. Jason will have that done Tuesday December 27th. Hopefully that makes it easier to get some extra nutrients in him.

     We hope that everyone reading this blog has a very blessed Christmas and Happy New Year. From our family to yours! Enjoy every minute, waste nothing and ALWAYS tell the people you love....that you love them! Leave nothing unsaid! <3 p="">
