If anyone knows someone that adds more hard drive to the human brain let me know. Mine is certainly getting slower and is on overload most of the time these days. However, 3 weeks later, I am usually on the correct page. This morning as I was preparing Jack’s daily drug cocktail, I started remembering that the chemotherapy, Temodar, will be taken for 42 continuous days. Even though Jack does not have radiation on the weekends, he is required to take the Temodar. I looked in the daily prepackaged bag that we were given. On each daily dose package, it clearly states that he is to take 1 tablet/day for 42 days. I then take out the remainder of the doses. Surprise, Surprise!!!! There are only 30 doses in the bag. We are in such a serious and precarious medical situation that it is most distressing that there is such sloppiness at one of the world’s great hospitals. It looks like we are going to have to play Carolyn and Doctors again. The biggest lesson to be learned here is that if anyone gets sick, you need an advocate that can digest and process what is going on; otherwise, the patient is most vulnerable. The other lesson to be learned is that we are all humans and even when there are teams of people involved, mistakes are made. We are truly a broken lot in need of divine healing more than anything which includes not only love but forgiveness to others as we have been forgiven.
We desire your prayers in the quagmire of medicine.
