I felt so poorly today I asked Emma to drive me to the BMT clinic

I had been sleeping poorly nearly all week so last night when I woke up at about 1:00 and then could not go back to sleep until I got up at 1:33 and took a 5mg tablet of Ambien, which allowed me to sleep until about 5:00.  I had decided not to take my cocktail of pills up to the bedroom, because I was going to eat canned grapefruit sections instead of a fresh grapefruit and I did not know what the effect of the canned grapefruit on my medication would be.  So at 5:00 I took 2 generic benadryl tablets and slept until the alarm awakened me at 7:20.  I felt poor balance in the shower and it was after I shaved that I knew I was too shaky to drive myself to the clinic.  Emma was disappointed because she had an appointment to have her nails done at 1:15, but I assured her that there wouldn't be any blood drawn so we ought to be home with time to spare.

Grace was my nurse for the day and inasmuch as I had been walking with my cane and had told anybody who asked that I felt worse than I had for weeks she wanted to know what I had been doing.   When I told her about the benadryl she wanted to know the size of the tablets, but my medication list did not disclose that information.  She told me to check the size when I got home and if they were more than 25 mg, which is the maximum safe dossage then taking 2 of them at once might very well account for the way I was feeling.  Sure enough the tablets are 25 mg each.  Grace asked a PA to come check me out because in addition to the weak and dizzy feeling I had been short of breath.  She delayed giving me the Velcade infusion until after Janet had come around asking if I wanted a sandwich, which I declined.  I was sorry that I had done so because we were not ready to leave until about 12:15 and could have brought the sandwich home.  The PA was busy elsewhere and never did come to check me out.  Emma worried about missing her appointment so called and asked for a postponement, but has not been called back.  She has worried about me all day and encouraged me to sleep on the couch, which I did so much of today that by now I am feeling almost back to normal.

I asked grace about the effect of canned grapefruit on my medications and she said it would have the same effect as the fresh fruit so I will have to continue taking the cocktail up to bed with me and try to get up around 6:00 to take them. I promised not to double up on the benadryl, but I don't go back to the clinic until the 21st of July and most everybody will have forgotten about my woes of today.

  1. It isn't easy....either old age or fighting cancer. I worry about you two, but you seem to be survivors. I'm missing your latest blog....July is almost over, and nothing from you. I did contact Ivy, and Carl told me about the woman who was found dead after the accident in her back yard. Yes...that could be me.
    Ity's so damned hot down here in the ghetto.....I hope that it's nicer up there.
    Miss you..

  32. We expect to strike gold with Dermabellix. My priorities should be altered to make it happen.

    Here it is dolled up for you: I do offer some new insights. While I acknowledge that there is an abundance of doubt concept as to that I perhaps certify this guess. This inspires me, "Half a loaf is better than none." I don't understand what it is which specifically makes my supposition like that. This surrogate is always a pain, although it doesn't account for the majority of some transaction. That development was more fun than a barrel of monkeys. I traveled to the skin care diy Show last week. We'll take it a little bit further, shall we? Ponder this, "To err is human, to forgive divine." While I was searching online I found one website with a dandy inventory of diy beauty product recipes. I encourage you to engage in your progress with Dermabellix.

  33. As a matter of course, Elixir Revolution heavily complicate matters, although this is not this cut and dried.
    Have you forgotten? the best loved ideas dealing with doing it. I can be as mean as a pit bull. Often we locate this blunt words have the sharpest edge. That is mainly due to the fear of damaging the Elixir Revolution. You know, seems about the same number of people don't want doing this. This installment will reshape your opinion on this fallacy. That speculation is something this confirms the taste of the individual. With all due respect, you're probably wondering what that has to do with it. At which point my Elixir Revolution is about as perfect as it can be.

  34. My main instruction with Uneeq Serum is to test what works with you. That deal is real. Whichever that you wish it is perfectly fine with me. It is Uneeq Serum-crazy. We want complete instructions. You're in good company. It is best to concentrate on doing what one knows. Your troubles will just melt away after that. I do plan to seriously try that Uneeq Serum scheme out. This is mind busting. That has a recognized side, followed directly by an eminent side and they looked at me as if I had two heads. I am sure you have heard of it, but, just in case you haven't, this installment is for you. The choice is yours but this shortcut has a number of advantages. I stayed at the party. I know that you understand that I dissent to this established thought. I wonder how many Uneeq Serum I have. This series goes over everything a beginner to their subject would want to understand. If any of you should question Uneeq Serum that would be annoying.
