    Insurance
    The onc came in today and said that the insurance company was starting to get pissy about the treatment I'm getting and what can be done at home. So I'm being sent home first thing tomorrow morning against my will. I've already got the wheels in motion to have home care when I get there. I spoke with my patient advocate at the Insurance company and she's going to do some checking to see if there's something that can be done to make sure I get the care that I need right now.

    Yes, I'm certain that the diarrhea is a side effect of the antibiotics so I'm eating more yogurt and trying to get some probiotic supplements. And the diarrhea and vomiting, I'm going to need fluid replacement. Fortunately I'm set up at home for the if needed. I'm plenty irked about all of this and if I end up back here in a week in worse shape I'm going to hold the insurance company responsible.

    Hey Doc, checking in to see
    Hey Doc, checking in to see how your doing today? Hang tough

    Frustrating
    This attitude of getting people out early is such a false economy as you say there. Is a risk you will end up back in if you go home too early. Anyway, I guess if it is outside your control you simply need to make the most of it and enjoy being back in your own environment.

    Hope it goes well and that you find a nice home care nurse to flirt with,

    dehydration
    Thanks Kenny. Before I was checked out I had to ask the head nurse repeatedly about fluid replacement because of the diarrhea. She got very pissy and said I didn't need it because my labs were fine. She was the only nurse on the floor the entire 10 days I was in that I just didn't like.
