Monday, Monday

We had our usual messed up Monday. I say messed up because our personal schedule gets messed up on Monday. On Mondays, we try to leave for the hospital at noon, because Tim has to have an EKG before they will start the arsenic for the week. Arsenic can do bad things to your heart rhythms, so the EKG makes sure that it's safe to give Tim more arsenic. Leaving the house at noon means that lunch time gets moved around. Tim's food schedule is very important, because a lot of his medication needs to be taken with food. Today we didn't finish lunch before we left. We got behind on some medication and as a result, Tim had a pretty poor afternoon. The EKG was normal, Tim had his arsenic, the rest of his blood tests came back pretty decent, so he didn't need any extra medication. We had another consult with the pain doctor. Now if I can just get Tim to eat something tonight, things may start to look up.
