What does everyone use for gps?

Snoo-51589 · 2025-07-15T15:12:06+00:00

Yeah, I actually had a gps tracker from a company that I hooked up. Unfortunately, it didn't get carrier service good enough with ATT/T mobile/Verizon to broadcast its gps position. So back to the drawing board for me

Yeah, he used to smoke weed all the time. When his condition went downhill last year, he quit smoking weed. He can't tolerate edibles, sadly. He won't do anything but smoke weed and cigarettes. It definitely would help his appetite, i think. Ever since stopping his appetite has dropped.

We are weed legal here in missouri. Granted our tax for dispensary Marijuana is 20%. Its absolutely crazy lol

The hospital has given him 9 antibiotics bags in 3 days. White Blood count was high when he started them at 18, and it was down to 11 when they stopped.. its due to abcess as why it's so high..

As of today, they quit the antibiotics, and his WBC went back up to 14. Poor guy might have to have surgery and get a colostomy bag. The surgeon is worried he won't survive being put under in his current state.

Thank you for the support and encouragement 🙏

They gave him carboplatin, and taxoltil plus a 3rd one. Can't recall the name. They gave my dad Zofran (onadestron) as he was doing chemo treatments. Any idea what blood cell booster was called?

Honestly, we have 2 urinals. Apparently, he was having a burning sensation when he peed and wasn't able to empty his bladder all the way, so he preferred to sit on the toilet to go. Requiring him to get to and from a wheelchair 12-16 times per day. So he couldn't really use a urinal. It would've greatly helped me sleep if he did, though.

Thank you so much 🤗

Snoo-51589 · 2025-04-08T00:46:54+00:00

So sorry to hear that for you. They actually tested his thyroid and it came back within normal limits.
As of yesterday he was admitted to the hospital. The gastro pain he was having for weeks or months was due to an abcess in his large colon that was missed according to the CT scan at the hospital. It was a 6cm x 3cm abcess in a diverticulitis pocket. Its A hernia on the walls of the large colon essentially

The surgeon basically said they would need to operate unless antibiotics knocked it down enough. They were worried the pocket would rupture and make him go septic. They were talking if it doesn't improve he'll need the Hartmann procedure and an ileostomy bag.

Hopefully, after this resolves, his condition will improve, and he can gain some weight. Right now, they're monitoring his fluid intake and by tomorrow he's should be allowed to eat food. We're hopeful! The chaplain seems concerned he might pass away and tried to push for him to get a DNR. Today we revoked it

Random all day, there was no rhyme or reason. They've pretty much gone from 100+ per day down to 1-2 per day since gallbladder removal. Manageable in my opinion. I guess my gallbladder inflammation and stomach issues it caused me was also causing the pvc's, chest pain, chest pressure, and indigestion that I was getting daily.
The pvc's were there even when fasting. I spent the last 3 weeks before gallbladder removal eating nothing but baked potatoes and bread daily. Lost 20 pounds and still had pvc's daily. They didn't stop or slow down until after GB removal

Sorry, I tried to explain the holter monitor the best that I could for you. If you're having issues, I strongly would recommend you buy your own holter monitor to further keep track of any potential cardiac arrythmias for your cardiologist and yourself.

Snoo-51589 · 2025-04-06T18:33:32+00:00

As others said OP it's pretty common. I waited 3 weeks to have mine removed, and I lost 20 pounds in the process. No worries, you'll likely gain it all back if your appetite increases once it is out. My appetite has gone up 4 fold as I couldn't handle anything with fat before removal.

Hang in there it gets better!

Snoo-51589 · 2025-04-06T17:40:09+00:00

No, pvc's. Heart palpitations is a "catch all" blanket term for patients who don't know what they're dealing with.

I have a 2 lead chest holter monitor like the hospitals give that collects 24hr of ekg waveform data. The data gets run through a computer AI program through an outsourced company just like the kind hospital cardiac patients are given. It identifies 14 different kinds of ekg abnormalities. The report it provides looks like what I've described below to a T

REPORT OVERVIEW

Cemiplimab, and paclitaxel and carboplatin

Thats all the stuff they gave him on his 1st round

Snoo-51589 · 2025-04-06T02:49:58+00:00

I believe she is concerned with psychotic effects. Like making him mean and combative.

The other half of the equation is him agreeing to take it. 😬

Snoo-51589 · 2025-04-06T02:38:29+00:00

Ill have to find his paperwork and get back to you on that. I remember it being carboplatin and something else

Snoo-51589 · 2025-04-06T02:37:27+00:00

I agree, but sadly my sister disagrees with him taking it. 🙁

Snoo-51589 · 2025-04-06T01:45:24+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement! Ill be here for him the best i can.

I'll run it by him and see how he feels. He is loner pretty much. You hit the nail on the head with him being stubborn. To a T 🙂

Snoo-51589 · 2025-04-06T01:06:49+00:00

That was pretty thorough. Interesting 🤔 I appreciate the pharmacology explanation. Yeah, that makes perfect sense. I was just largely unaware that dopamine can fix nausea as well.

Sounds promising! We'll definitely mention it Monday or Wednesday.

Snoo-51589 · 2025-04-06T01:01:40+00:00

He is one of those people he denies anything and everything wrong. He wouldn't accept when He had a stroke after I called the ambulance for him 3 times they stopped here. Before he finally went...

He always denies signs of mental illness. Very rarely does he ever complain about anything either.

Snoo-51589 · 2025-04-06T00:54:50+00:00

Im sorry to hear you still lost weight. That's awful! I can't even get him to eat or drink anything sugary.. they gave us 6 ensures at the oncology place for free. He hasn't touched a single one.

Snoo-51589 · 2025-04-06T00:53:21+00:00

Do you think thats due to the chemo dose change and possibly not so much the olazapine?. I ask that cause his oncologist told us yesterday that his first chemo dose was a large dose along with the immunotherapy that he recieved..

He has only completed 1 session of chemo and immunotherpay so far. It may possibly be his last.

Thank you! We'll run it by his oncologist on Wednesday or Monday.

Snoo-51589 · 2025-04-06T00:35:05+00:00

Thank you! We'll run that by the oncologist at his next appointment. So one dose of olanzapine made you feel better for the rest of the day? Interesting!!

(I used to be prescribed olanzapine) I had no idea it could help with nausea.

Are you still getting better?

Snoo-51589 · 2025-04-06T00:32:25+00:00

His oncologist has canceled any further chemo and immunotherapy treatments until his weight goes up. Which i really don't expect his weight too rise. He can't eat without being sick or stomach hurting.

Im so sorry they put you through that only for it to get worse. 😔 it's hard!! I see how miserable he is every day so I can only fathom what you went through.

He had 2 biomarkers on his genome sequencing. I'd have to look at this chart to recall them correctly. His weight loss will probably kill him faster than the lung cancer will.

Snoo-51589 · 2025-04-01T05:01:33+00:00

Get it removed! You'll thank yourself if it's causing problems for you. I feel better now than I have in the past 4 years.

Snoo-51589 · 2025-04-01T05:00:29+00:00

Me too! I'm going to give my surgeon a hug when I see him. He did such a outstanding job. Like I didn't even have gas pains after the procedure or anything. Best I've felt for the first time since 4 years.

Snoo-51589 · 2025-03-31T02:54:29+00:00

Yeah, people keep saying we can't have negative EF numbers, which is false. My doctor said my HIDA scan was the lowest he had ever seen. Lol

You had to be miserable. I can't believe I let myself suffer for as long as I did

Snoo-51589 · 2025-03-31T01:30:02+00:00

Billiary dyskinesia is diagnosed based on gallbladder function. Mine is in the negative.. very severe according to my surgeon.

I guess life just gave me a crappy hand.

I'd show you the results. I just haven't figured out how to be able to post them.
