PLEASE PASS THE SALT...

One thing I have little patience for is Natureman's use of salt. The man adds salt without even first tasting the food. Grrr. But, it turns out perhaps I should have been encouraging salt intake this past couple of weeks since in spite of all his stable lab vitals, his sodium level is now too low, another dang side effect of the chemo drug regimen.

That possible 6 week infusion regimen vs every 3 weeks was not meant to be. In addition to the normal 3 week infusion, he received an IV of saline solution.  Natureman will need to return next week to repeat labs. Just when we were hoping to decrease visits, there's this sodium kink and an extra visit. 

If the low sodium issue has not been resolved by next week, along with having to take a break from his medications, a steroid will be necessary making him even more immuno compromised. Fingers crossed all this can be averted.

In the meanwhile, he has homework to do as he needs paperwork from the social security office to be eligible to reapply for the medication assistance from Pfiser with the new year approaching. This has an early December deadline...

You know it just dawned on me I  forgot to mention a change in Natureman's appearance.  That head of thick, wavy hair has been replaced by silky smooth, straight hair. His barber who would be me, is going to need some you tube video watching for cutting straight hair.  Thanks goodness it's cap wearing weather just in case a bad haircut ensues...
