I should have titled yesterdays blog "Chemo makes my blood boil". I wasn't particularly upset about anything.
I saw my family doctor this morning. My continual use of steroid makes my blood pressure control not a cut and dry matter. It isn't as easy as just having more of my first blood pressure medication. I will now have two blood pressure medications. This new medication may cause nausea. I hope that it doesn't, but hopefully this is a temporary situation (taking two medications for blood pressure control).
Funny story, while at the doctor today they weighed me, that is really not the funny part. Anyway, the scale in Oncology must say 0 lbs 0 oz. before you step on or it won't work. The Oncology is really slow and stepping on it early doesn't help the matter. So, I stepped on the scale this morning and it didn't say 0 lbs and 0 oz. I jumped back off. The poor nurse! I know she wondered what I was doing. Then someone was bringing another patient back from x-ray in a wheel chair. The nurse was trying to tell him that he could go back into the room he was in previously by opening the door for him. I thought she was opening the door for me. I walked right in the room. She had to tell me that wasn't my room. Oh my...I am just relieved to have an answer for my high blood pressure!
This has been an extremely busy week for our family and tomorrow I will go to Sioux City for a radiation consultation. Whew, what a whirl wind week!
