Thankfully, today has been a much better day!!!!!!!!!!! Jerry's O2 goes between 88 & 91 when awake--he uses the canned oxygen to keep it at that point. I have not checked it today while sleeping. I got a call from the cardiologist office and they recommend a pulmonary consult. I told her that he was using the canned O2, she said do was was necessary to keep him comfortable for now. I was surprised---I expected a lecture about OH NO you cannot do that. Hopefully, we will see the oncology doc on Tuesday prior to his infusion, and can talk about a referral.

We went out for lunch and he ate part of his hamburger. He has been hungry for "real" fried chicken---so tomorrow I guess I will go by chicken and a can of Crisco-----I have not done fried chicken in 35-40 years, but I will see if I can remember how!!!!!!!

@texastribble You surely are at your wit's end! Are you getting any rest for yourself, at all? And remember, renewing your fried chicken skills is like riding a bike, just over a stove!

Jerry hopefully understands what a treasure he has in you. Fortunately you have your medical background to fall back on, otherwise it might be a rough time for you. Advocate for yourself, and for Jerry. Your notes and lists of symptoms will surely make an impact on Tues to get that referral.
