Thanks so much for he reply Nancy. It has been a difficult weekend! This guy has had back surgery, shoulder surgery, broken shoulder and open heart surgery---and never needed pain medication after he came home!!!!!!!!!!! So, for him to be hurting this badly is unusual for sure. Saturday I called the doc on call but with us being new in their system and not even staring treatment, he did not offer any help--just said if it hurts that badly to go to the ER--which we did. Jerry said he slept better than usual last night (YEA) but when he rolled over to get up the pain kicked back in. I will wait for a while to see if he wants me to call or just wait until tomorrow. Supposedly, we will see the doc before his first infusion. This is going to be a difficult process--on my part because I don't have confidence in this doc or the practice--but is where Jerry wants to be since it is close to home rather than driving to Dallas for the best doc!
