Friday heading home

Last night Mary was suffering from very tight back muscles again. I gave her a back rub right after dinner and then later as she went to bed. She said today was a bit better, perhaps because she took a Tylenol when the muscles started to tighten up.

We are assuming the muscles are reacting to a low level of red blood and will get better as her cell count improves. We'll learn on Monday at Stanford because they start with a blood draw and that will tell us where we stand vis a vis the health of the bone marrow and the continuation of chemo.

The blood draw will be at 11. The visit with Dr. Fisher is at 1PM. Then, if she gets a green light and Mary elects to continue, the chemo will start after that. I expect to be there to see Dr. Fisher. Otherwise, Mary's taxi team will get her to Stanford and bring her back.

I am on my way home and Mary asked me to pick up a loaf of Acme bread! Pasta tonight! My Friday favorite!
