Ode to my Blockages

While getting my chemo at Uni-V of VA,
The Drs. together were all wont to say,
“In general your health looks better each day”
but these blockages of yours, they must go away.”

What blockages? Ahh, yes, well that is the question
The first one relates to GI and digestion:
My bowels, ah my bowels, my long-lasting obsession
They seem to be stuck in a bit of regression.

“We declare war on this new constipation”
My Dr. she said with stern consternation
“You cannot regress – start massive hydration,
Colace and Miralax will be your salvation.”

“But there may be something else – something even more serious
We will need a new scan to see if it’s injurious”
It might explain the pain that's been so mysterious.
Yup, there's a clot in the calf… could be deleterious.

“You can go to ER or go home and rest”
I said, “Avoiding ER is always the best.”
The Dr. agreed (although he was a bit stressed stressed)
So home to my home group – I’m abundantly blessed.

Now it’s hang out with my leg in the air
Trying to get meds (can’t find ‘em anywhere)
Fragmin it’s called – stick it in my belly, bare
Once every day to receive adequate care.

So that’s all the news for my update sublime
As you can tell, I have a tad extra time
I’m sitting around -- feeling mostly fine
Waiting on Fragmin -- blogging in rhyme.
