The Problem with Drugs


 The problem with drugs is that you think you can do things.... But you can't. Let's take Mon. For example.
I knew I had a PET scan. 
I knew I'd be getting xanax and can't handle it. 
DHMC gives xanax prior to PET scans because it interferes with the uptake of the metobolites into the brown fat of a person which can gve a false positive. 
Can everybody tell that at somepoint I had to memorize that and now I think you all shoud know? 
Xanax sedates me. 
When I'm not pasing out I'm doing whatever I'm told. Can't make a decision to save my life. 
I thought I'd get out at 11 and hit up my friend that works there.
 Well..... I got out at 11, but it didn't look like 11.
 I'm pretty sure that's bc iot was 11:09, not 11.
 So I didn't even bother trying to get her. 
Lunch. It was lunch time. That's what I knew had to happen during this period. So I did somehow manage to get myself soup and crackers. 
I don't remember how. 
I don't remember much.
I remember flashes, and honestly, what I remember is not accurate. 
This has been happening because of my ativan again. I have ativan amnesia.
I would swear during my last hospitalization that dr. Simon came in and told me that I had a huge clot in my lung, but he didn't. 
He said the opposite.
The only reason I know this is bc I've been told.
 Unfortunately, this is how monday went, but i didn't have someone with me to take over.
 I know I saw both marc and anna but that's it. 
I asked permission to get down from the assessment table.
I asked for a chemo break. 
But mostly I've got nothin'. 
Don't know my PET results. Don't know the plan. 
I'm floundering.
 Type A me can't handle not knowing if my bone marrow failure will reoccur. If my tumor shrunk, that's good news. The chemo is working. 
But if it just stayed the same. . . all that means is my bone marrow has failed and I should be getting my damn neupogen.
I was discharged thinking I'd get neupogen every two weeks too, but that's not anything I've received. 
I'm frustrated and I'm mostly frustrated bc I was so sick I couldn't process the information and now there is no one around to clarify. 
Ugh.
Feel my frustration for me. I can't take it anymore.
