It's getting better all the time

I've been feeling so much better lately, which seems odd because they upped my Cytoxan dosage at the start of the week. I think I have been helped by the extra sleep, but I am also wondering if cutting the Cytoxan tablets in half last week was a bad idea. Once I started taking 4 whole tablets (instead of 3 1/2), I think my nausea subsided a lot.

My mom has been in Arkansas the past couple of days, and I have been doing fine on my own. In fact, I think I have been getting quite a bit more of my own work done (thank you notes, bills, etc) instead of helping her all day. :)

The endocrinologist office finally called to schedule an appointment for me. They can't get me in until October 29th. Isn't that crazy? I am so happy that Dr. Awadh actually started me on the vasopressin (actually it is desmopressin) before then. I live in such a highly developed country and despite a pretty high deductable, have good health insurance, but I can't see a doctor for 2 months. I can't see how socialized medicine could be much worse.
