Biff was admitted to the ICU last night. He had nasty fall yesterday morning (I was at laundromat - long story for another time), some bleeding that had stopped by time I got home - he was up and conscious ("I'm fine!"). We already had an appointment with Oncologist at the nearby facility, so we headed there. They don't have emergency services at that facility, but said we should go to Oncology appointment, then see general medical team after. However, Oncologist said we should go to ER at the other facility directly and be admitted for treatment for all the side effects problems and get thoroughly checked out for the fall he'd taken.
Long wait in ER, another long story for another time. CT scan of his head showed some bleeding (they were not expecting there would be based on his physical behavior - no signs of any problems), so, with everything, they admitted him to ICU... 2nd CT scan showed no changes and "looks good" so not planning surgery after all.
It's good that they are monitoring and taking care of all the problems. He'd gotten to a point where he could barely drink or eat and was in constant pain from side effects (aside from the fall concerns - he probably fell due to dehydration).
I've spoken to him briefly this morning. The pain in mouth and rash are "worse today than yesterday" and he's in a lot of pain. Doctors are working out new plan. Again, I'll be heading there shortly and will update again as soon as I can. 💔🤬🙏❤️
