Stopping the Edema

I'm scheduled to start receiving growth control factors tomorrow, which is said to put 10 to 15 pounds on a patient. As I am already a few pounds heavier due to the edema, the doctors will continue to be aggressive with it. Right now I'm in a treatment room, waiting for some more diaretics to given intraveneously through my new catheter.

That's the theme when you are here... Wait, then wait some more. It's important to bring books or something to pass the time.
