Round 2 ICE treatment day 3

Not too much to report today. The treatment is going OK. I am back to the “just wrong” feeling again, but like I have said before if that's all I have to deal with I will consider myself lucky. The only real change is that I am once again getting the Lovenox shots, twice a day. These shots are to help stabilize my blood thickness. Now that I am back in the throws of chemo, the medication (cumidin) is hard to manage and so is my INR (blood thickness). Since it is at 1.4, a bit too think, it should be between 2 and 3. The lovenox will help keep things in check until the INR is back to an OK level. Oh, the other thing about the shots is that it is every 12 hours 1PM and 1AM, so it turns out to be one more thing to keep me awake at night. These days of only 4 or 5 hours of sleep are turning out to be the hardest part of the hospital stays. Speaking of hospital stays, it looks like I will be able to get out of here some time after noon tomorrow, yea for me.
