Sunday.

Today went well, but it's hard to get into trouble when you sleep all day. She's barfed a few times in the last few days. Every meal comes with an Ativan now. It keeps the food down, but makes you sleepy too. Well, she didn't sleep all day. She did another half-hour on the bike-thingy. Sadly, the octopus is still a companion. Kristi needs constant antibiotics to stay healthy. Every four hours she gets an hour long drip. Most of the day is unchained though.

I met a patient in the hall today. He's from Blackfoot Idaho, about 20 minutes away from where I grew up. He has AML too and had a interesting story. He's back here after a two year remission. He had chemo only the first time, so this means that he's in line for a transplant now. We will probably see him again when Kp goes in. He found out that he had AML when he saw the dentist. He was having tooth pain. When they pulled a molar, his gums swelled up bad. They suggested a blood test... He knew he was having a relapse when he bit into a steak and felt that same pain again. He says he got it from his work as a roofer dealing with some heavy industrial solvents like Benzene. He is currently in lawsuits with several roofing companies.

In other news, Kristi's toy garden continues to grow....
