Home from 9 days in hospital

I was getting sicker, so Pam & Lori took me to the doctor on Thursday, June 27th.  Mine was booked up so I saw another.  He ordered tests and said he'd call on Saturday.  When he talked to me he said to go to emergency.  Moira took me to VGH.  Iwas actually past the waiting room and lying Dow in about 10 minutes - triage works.  I was severely dehydrated and my heart was racing.   A few hours later I was in a private room with a killer view of downtown and the mountains.

They started pumping fluids in. I had to be quick to unplug my pole and roll it to the bathroom.   Luckily they used my port right away so I didn't have too many pokes.  Can't believe how much blood was drawn.  Different types of specialist kept coming and the GI fellow did a colonoscopy.  After a couple of week of barely eating or drinking, it was impossible to chug 4 liters of the prep.  Did enough and the test showed nothing.  They took a bunch of biopsies but I don't know the results.

Started feeling better and eating properly.  Things aren't back to normal, but moving in the right direction.  My biggest problem is swollen legs and feet and the pesky fungus infection in my toe.

Pru brought me home.  We stopped at Max's and bought stuff for lunch and dinner.  Even have leftovers for tomorrow.

I'm off my Afinitor and talked by email with my oncologist this afternoon.  I'm going in a week Tuesday to see what to do next.  Will see my GP this Tuesday.  The hospital thinks this could have been a reaction to the drug or that I just picked up a strange bug that they couldn't find.
