Another Clinical Trial

So I started another clinical trial last Wednesday. This one includes infusion therapy on day one of the cycle with pills twice a day for 14 days. I get the last week of 21 day cycle to rest. 

The infusion on day 1 is two different drugs, one of which may be a placebo. You don't get to know since it is a blind study. I have already had the pills and one of the infusion drugs in previous treatments. So I kinda know what to expect.

In addition to starting the new clinical trial last Wednesday I had another thoracentesis. Because of the pocketing of the fluid in my lung they were only able to draw 250  ML of fluid, so the shortness of breath continues. My pulse rate is still elevated between 97 and 107. This one concerns me.

That's it for now.

Here's this week's contribution to my "New Normal".

Biker’s Valentine Card

Get this straight you lovely bitch
I’m not with you cause you’re rich
I like your smile, your skin, your touch
You’ve got edge, but not too much

You make me hot, don’t leave me cold
You’re funny; you’re smart and even bold
So if it’s not out of the question or just uncool

Would you be the Valentine of this fool?
