Ever since the last admission due to the pericardial effusion, I have been pretty deflated. Running into these constant complications really do take there toll on your psyche. It also is tough to being back in the hospital only a 2 weeks after you just spent a few days there. The whole experience had begin to wear on me... I had been admitted 5 times, and only 2 of them were planned... It most definitely was a grind it out few weeks.
But as the days got closer to my readmission for round 3, i began to settle in to a more positive mood... things were moving forward in the direction we needed them to go... But oddly enough, the night before I was being admitted back in, i got the most incredible fortune in my fortune cookie. It read "It is not your character to up". This random, goofy little note was enough to lift my spirits and get me into the right positive mind frame what was ahead of me.
I got checked back into the hospital at on Wednesday morning. As usual, I have no difficulties tolerating the chemo itself. So so far it has been a very uneventful eventual admission (knock on wood). Before I get sent home on Monday, they are going to perform another cardiac echo to make sure everything remains all clear with the pericardial effusions. So hopefully we can avoid having any other recurrences of that.
Well that is all from the 5th floor of George Washington University Hospital for now...
I am most definitely pretty thrilled to be entering the final turn of this treatment. The home stretch doesnt seem that far away anymore :)
