Friday at 10:30

Tomorrow is official stomach draining day! Bill was able to get an appointment for 10:30 tomorrow. I am taking the day off to chauffeur him to the hospital. He is so excited to have all the fluid drained that he measured around his stomach so he can know the difference in its size. It seems that it is not uncommon to need monitoring after the procedure (when they take a large amount of fluid) to make sure the blood pressure doesn't plummet. Bill's blood pressure has been really high since he started treatment, which is a reaction to the trial drugs, so he is already on medication. I am hoping that if his blood pressure drops that it will fall into the "normal" range instead of dropping to a dangerous level... and now you can see why I am not a doctor. My rationale tends to be skewed after my over-thinking sets in. Stay tuned for the draining update tomorrow!
