She’s asleep on the meds here in the hallway.
She’s on the list for a biopsy today but we don’t know when.
Hopefully this afternoon.
We might be able to get her into a room today.
Probably won’t talk to the oncologist until after the biopsy. Then we’ll discuss treatment plan. They might do chemo first to shrink the tumor. Don’t know yet.
They don’t seem to think she needs emergency surgery (no blockage or bleeding etc)
Likely here overnight but could be home tomorrow with a dilaudid scrip.
JZ, all the love in the world to you.
David, anything Jim and I can do, say the word.
{{{{{JZ}}}}} {{{{{Hec}}}}} If any of you need anything at all please don’t hesitate to ask. All my love headed your way.
{{{JZ}}}, I'm so sorry you have joined this most miserable of clubs. I wish you swift & easy healing. And of course, anything I can do to help is yours for the asking.
Waiting for room.
Waiting for info about when we’re scheduled for biopsy.
Possibly at 5pm.
But as Pee Wee tells Whoopi in his Xmas special: “Maybe! I’m not promising anything.”
Yeah, sounds familiar. Lots of waiting. Patience is hard.
They are absolutely slammed at the hospital. 15 patients past capacity.
One EMT said it was the worst he’s seen for lack of rooms.
Currently bracketed by that other epidemic, opioid overdoses. Both revived with Narcan. One guy with an infected foot singing Lime and the Coconut. The other guy is ordering off the menu like a 10 yo (chocolate chip pancakes, Mac and cheese) and trying to cage a room through Xmas.
Hec, that’s awful. I’m sorry you have to deal with that on top of everything.
I wanted to chime in here to say how sorry I am. I’ve been messaging with JZ directly and am just astonished at this news. And sending all of my love through all and any channels.
