120316 Part 4

We've moved up to the main hospital and Rory is settling in the for the night. She won't get ANY sleep thanks to her roommate. The poor woman is snoring SOOOO loud, plus her daughter has been on her cellphone non-stop, AND she's still got the TV on.

Anyway they are pretty sure nothing is wrong with her heart, but will verify with another EKG and enzyme test. With all her symptoms they think it might be esophageal ulcers, or a spreading of her chemo-caused mouth sores down into her throat. They are going to try some oral lidocaine to see if that gives her some relief, but if not then they'll move on to the next possibility. While not pleasant, at least throat ulcers aren't serious and will clear up now that chemo is over, so we're kind of hoping that is what is actually going on. 

Not sure what I'm doing tonight or tomorrow. I'm supposed to be at Army all day and all night (different events) but we'll just have to see how things go.
