Cancer Update: WTF?

Yesterday, I had the first normal day in weeks - awake and alert for about 14 hours!  Woohooo, I thought.  I'm back to normal!!!

So far, I've slept 14-15 hours, today.  :-( 

What the hell is going on?

My only guess is the 1/2 liver dying, and the 1/2 growing takes a huge amount of energy???

Cancer Update - Monday Test, Thursday Major Surgery - On Schedule

Just heard from the Hospital - by some miracle the Shutdown of DC Medicaid will not be delaying the Test and Surgery scheduled for next week.

So, tonight is my last night of self-injected blood thinner for the clot in my lung - blood thinners must stop 5 days prior to major surgery.

It is expected I'll be in hospital for 5-7 days, and then, I hope to return to the less restrictive Infirmary at the homeless shelter, but if nursing requirements are extensive, I'll request several days post hosp at Christ House.  TBD.
