The Lovenox came in on Saturday delivery so Saturday night I began taking the new medicine Protocol - 21 days on - 7 days off - of Lovenox self shot each evening and then Revlimid 25 mg pill before bed as I was advised to do to minimize the potential side effects. At the same time I'm also changing the Dex regiment to only one day a week, I took it yesterday Sunday morning so that could explain why this post is at 3:30 am, I will probably play with the day so that if each one gets me up, it won't be on a back to work night, maybe I'll take it each Saturday morning instead.
I had a good weekend, I think the sedative and coming off the Dex last week finally ran out and I started to stay up more and more, we went to a movie on Saturday afternoon, I managed to stay up for the entire movie, we saw the "Dinner for Schmucks" which was wrong in many ways but was very funny so it was hard to sleep and laugh at the same time.
We had the kids over for dinner on Sunday night and did some burger grilling, Josh did a lot of the cooking and they turned out good. It's only 2 weeks until Amanda's wedding and some nerves are beginning to show all around, we are looking forward to Saturday August 14th and beyond.
I took the second day of the new meds last night, so far no side effects to speak of, I hope to lose some of the lower leg ache I had been feeling with the Velcade, we'll have to see. I don't have any doctor's appointments this week, but need to get some labs done. I will probably need to make a quick trip to St. George sometime this week to get some standing lab work done and then after the appointment with Dr. Te next week make arrangements that every other week that I don't have to go to St. George, I'll find a lab down here to get the off week labs. They have to monitor my blood fairly closely because of all the new meds for the next several weeks, so I'll have to make the decision on how to handle that after the wedding.
