10/19/07 A day without a procedure

Everyone is feeling a bit frustrated. Mark is in pain from the previous day's procedure. Ronda had received a call from Dr. Farmer while Mark was being worked on and the doctor said that Mark should be having his colonoscopy and PET scan now too. Well no one had communicated that and nothing was scheduled or prepped. Ronda was also suppose to meet the oncologist at UAB after the procedure yesterday, but that didn't happen.

Ronda called the UAB oncologist and she told her that she had just received Mark's folder and she needed to review it. She eventually got back to Ronda and they scheduled a colonoscopy for Monday the 22nd.

Mark tired to get up and interact, however he was feeling weak (he hadn't really eaten in about a week) and he was in pain.

Friday also brought the arrival of Sue (Ronda's Mom) and Shaun (Mark's older brother).
