6-3 day

Quick post tonight. I'm feeling tons better. Most of the side effects have subsided greatly. Taste buds much better and most things are tasting pretty good. Still have a slight ringing in the ears, but have an appointment with Dr. Debo on Friday, so I'll have him take a look and then whatever he says, I'll relay to Dr. Atienza so he can make a decision on whether or not to give me the Cisplatin on Tuesday.

Went to Dr. Atienza's office this morning to have his nurses look at my PICC line. They both took a look and said that it looked ok. Actually, the redness around the insertion point has subsided a little, but there is a little dried puss I can see under the bandage that was worrying me. The nurses said if the red ring got bigger and/or sore and I developed a fever, then I should have it looked at again.

So with all that, things are going good...looking forward to enjoying some Prime Rib Christmas night.
