Linda went to Bend today to the Oncologist and got Zometa....a bone builder ...she has received that infusion before...this will be the last one until she returns in December (if needed at that time)....she also had her blood test done.....which they said was ok....we thought it was a bit low.....anticipated with this new chemo.
Linda then went to the pulmonologist...he "upped" her delayed release morphine as well as provided her with medication for a sinus congestion....he also increased her prevacid to deal with the belching....we shall see how all this works out.....
We have tried desperately to get a flu shot for Linda...no one has it in Central Oregon..... tomorrow we are going to a Costco in Tigard to get it....with the cruise coming up and all....she needs it....the doctor was planning on doing it but they never got the supply.....
The driver over the pass was very beautiful with the fall colors.....also Linda got everything locked up in the house for the winter....it will be December when we return. Linda made sure she took the flowers Jim and Swee Hart sent.....to enjoy prior to the flight. ..
This weekend will be for family and friends....and rest for Linda....
ps....Dave "bailed" on the steroids today...he was to take them for another 10 days but he felt like he was going to have a heart attack...things immediately calmed done.....how Linda takes these steroids day after day is beyond me....(And 20 mg vs 4 mg !!!!!!!! She is down to 5 mg per day now though.....)

Hi;
No flu shots in Nebraska either. Word is that all efforts are going into H1N1 vaccine production and the same plants are used for both. Even the doctors' office isn't sure they will get more and if they do, it will be Nov. Lots of H1N1 flu here in young kids. Who would have thought that we would ever look back and say we are lucky we had Asian and Hong Kong flu because it gives us some immunity from Swine flu?
Good luck with the medication changes...enjoy your days with family.
Love,
Ruth Ann
Look at that beauty by the front door......and the fall colors aren't too shabby, either. Dave, I think you made a wise choice regarding those steroids. The word is out that we might actually see the SUN here today. I'll take it, even tho it is still very cold for this time of year.
Take care and happy travels.
