October 11 - Day 0
Went to the hospital Thursday p.m. for an ultrasound on my butt abcess. Turns out it's not too deep, and could be treated with antibiotics or possible minor surgery. While we were at the hospital, the hospital called us at home to say a bed was available. Of course we missed this call, and got a seccond call around 6:30. After dinner we went to check in. Got a private room at least (for now anyway.) Got some bloodwork, but no IV, so sleep was possible.
October 12 - Day 1
Saw DRAP and the pharmacist. Had at least 8 people look at my butt. Surgeons concluded it is draining itself (very slowly) and that they would not open it up more. On antibiotics - drip 4 times daily for 30-45 minutes, then disconnected from IV for the rest of the time. Decided to delay chemo until Monday to give the butt thing a chance to improve first. In the evening also saw DRRB.
October 13 - Day 2
Just more of the same. Antibiotics 4 times, a few visitors.
October 14 - Day 3
Same again. Chemo should start tomorrow.
