Oncology Appointment - December 3rd follow-up

After Jerry's appointment on Tuesday, Jerry hasn't been feeling well since. The day of his treatment, Jerry, takes drugs to help keep him from getting constipated with all the drugs that are administered in the IV which cause constipation. It started during the afternoon while he was still at work. Once Jerry came home until Jerry went to bed Wednesday... Jerry had constant diarrhea. About 2:30am Thursday morning Jerry was tossing and turning in bed, which woke me up. I asked Jerry what was wrong and he said his lower back was hurting and he was cold. Even though it was not cold in the house, Jerry had his electric blanket turned up to high. I gave Jerry a heating pad for his back, which was also up high. Jerry continued to shiver because he was so cold. I wanted to take Jerry to the ER, but Jerry did not want to go. He said he was too cold to lay in the ER. I told him they could give him warm blankets, but he said no. I knew Jerry probably had a fever, but with all the blankets and heat I couldn't tell. I continued to give Jerry gator aid because I was sure he was dehydrated. Jerry and I finally got to sleep around 4:00am. Later, Jerry's alarm went off for him to get ready to go to work. I told Jerry that he needed to stay in bed and rest. He said he'd stay for another hour. When I woke up to get ready for work, Jerry was still sleeping. When I said good-bye and left for work, Jerry told me he was going to sleep awhile longer and then would probably go into work. I was getting ready to leave for lunch, I decided to call Jerry, at work, to see how he was doing. They told me that Jerry did not come into work. I called home and he told me he still was not feeling well and that he had slept until 11:30am. For all who know Jerry... you know that NEVER happens. Married to Jerry for over 28 yrs. I have never seen him sleep past 9:00am. I decided that Jerry may still need to go to the hospital so I left work to try and encourage him to go in. I went home, the palms of Jerry's hands were "white". I tried to get him to go to the ER, but he still insisted that he did not want to go. We sat around watching TV for the afternoon and about 8:00pm Jerry finally fell asleep on the couch. Later on, when I went to bed I left Jerry sleeping. Sometime during the night, he came to bed. Today (Friday 12/7th) Jerry is better, but he says he's dragging.
