I am stealing my mother in law’s quote.  Bad moments, but better days.  Day two of chemo this week and it’s my first lumbar puncture with IT chemo since my stroke.  I am very nervous about neuro leakage but forge ahead we must.  At least now we know the signs better and can go back for a blood patch sooner than later.  At least the neuro oncologist is doing the lumbar punch this time instead of interventional radiology poking around with a bunch of med students.  It’s supposed to be safer because it’s under X-ray, but I do not think so.  They’ve hit nerves down there.  What a bunch of ammeters.  I just want it to go smoothly.  Fingers crossed this will this morning.
