Today I am most grateful for Mom. She came to take me to radiation yesterday. There was an incident at that office that forced me to skip my treatment and be shuffled back to the oncologist for IV fluids. They think I am dehydrated. So a big bag of fluids was what I got. This was a result of me taking the pain meds. As I said before Im a lightweight when it comes to pain meds. Sleeping 13 hours with no fluid intake is what they think caused the dehydration. After that Mom brought me home and we started the game we seem to play whenever something happens. What did I do or eat different? What did I not do or eat different? Is the position Im sleeping in causing the back pain? About 5:30 a remarkable thang happened. I was sitting at the kitchen table and realized I wasnt in any pain. I had found a sweet spot. Mom tried to create that position with pillows in the recliner. They it hits us; I had become constipated about the same time all this started happening. Mom was up and off to Popis for the magic coleslaw. Cat showed up as Mom was leaving and now she was playing the game. Mom is back. I eating coleslaw and crackers and now all three of us are playing the game. We decided I should try to once again sleep in my bed to at least see if sleeping in the recliner is contributing to the back pain. It didnt seem to make a difference so Im back to constipation being the culprit in all this. While Im drinking my coffee this morning I am praying to the cup as if it were my new GOD to please get thangs started. I realize this and laugh. I wonder if there is a patron saint of pooping? There seems to be a patron saint for anything and everything else. I wonder what the saints name would be? Well Im off to the hot shower. Mom will be here soon for another go round of radiation and then off for fluids again. Thank you all!
