The End of Antibiotics

Today after 12 days of having home antibiotic infusions, they came to an end. Joe in real trooper style gave himself the infusions every single day. Not once did he complain. However he has been complaining of back pain. His back has been bothering him ever since he got home from Duke Hospital. I'm sure all that laying around in a bed for a week didn't help but we were hopeful that it would have resolved itself by now. It's a good thing we keep Tylenol around. The only other issue is that Joe tires easily of an evening. But if he is a good boy during the day and doesn't over do it, he manages to make it through okay.

Joe resumes chemo on Monday morning. After labs and the doctors appointment, chemo is scheduled for 11:15 a.m. Chemo takes about 5 hours, so we pretty much will be there all day. We'll both have to have our iPads charged to make it through the entire day.

For now, Joe is just being plain silly. Can't imagine how he got bacteria in his system when he goes around licking remote controls!
