This time around, the trip was quite non-eventful. My appointment was at 3:00pm but didn’t see Dr. Kirkwood until 5:00 pm. He said this round I would have a cardiologist on board for the therapy. He also gave me a prescription for Lasix. This will help me shed the water weight gain from the last round.
I ended up staying at the Family House on Neville Street. It is about 8-10 blocks from the Hillman Cancer Center. There is a UPMC Blue Shuttle that takes you to all the other Shady houses and hospitals. (13 stops in all).
The weather could have been better. It was quite rainy so I dinner at the local Boston Market near the Hillman and then caught the shuttle back to my room at the Neville family House.
Traveling home back to Rochester was quite rainy. So, I had a leisurely breakfast at Ritter's Diner and was on the road about 9:30 am. I pulled into my driveway about 2:00pm
That is it for now. I go back to face the second round on November 29th. I just can't wait to do it all over again. Does anyone care to take my place? Hey!! the hospital food wasn't that bad.
Take care for now.
Jimmy B.
