Phil's trip to the hospital

[Guest guest]

Well, Phil managed to get through the first service but our ever ready band

of nurses in our church figured out right away that he was exhausted and in

pain so off we went to the Emergency Room. We did bypass quite a bit and were

put in a room with a decent bed though still in emergency. Actually a good

thing from Insurance stand point since it is not technically a room and

therefore does not run as high as the deluxe suites upstairs (ha ha)

Phil had blood work and a CT scan done the results of which we will know

Tuesday

They did not have to do a drip he had a simple shot of the morphine which

worked almost immediately to take the pain down.

Dr. Rothman was in and had 2 interns with him and told them

'You know the reason I like Phil so much is no matter how much shit you give

him he'll give it right back! But.... you need a fork lift to get this guy

to go to the hospital!!!! "

Funny but true in both respects.

After the shot and the usual waiting game and Phil's usual zombie routine

(He fights sleep and you get to see the whites his eyes roll back into his

head) they gave him a pain patch which is maybe an inch square if that and

lasts

about 48-72 hours delivering measured doses not unlike the pain buttons in

the hospital.

So we are back Phil is comfortable and all is well to gear up for more chemo

on Tuesday.

We have teasingly said that Phil is just trying to drive us all nuts

But the truth is God has him in the palm of His hand

where there is the best care of all.

God Bless you and thanks for all the prayers!!

Hi, Narice. You warned Phil that you were taking him to the hospital on Monday,

but looks like he made it there Sunday evening. He was exhausted. He needs to

rest today if he is to have chemo on Tuesday. Hope he gets enough sleep and

doesn't fight it. Does the pain patch make him sleepy as well as reduce the

pain? Hope you can get some rest today. Take care. Praying for you and Phil and

your boys.
