curry chronicles skip to main skip to sidebar curry chronicles wednesday july 18 2012 4th 5k every july 4th our boys start the holiday by running in our towns freedom fest 5k run that is collin in the orange shirt somehow i lost the picture of austin at the start of the race austin didn t feel very good on race morning but still ran a pretty good race collin ran an awesome race he actually beat austin austin came in about 30 sec behind austin collin won his age group he was 12th overall out of about 400 runners austin was 8th in his age group and 17th overall posted by tracy at 12 07 pm no comments tuesday july 17 2012 dolphins our last night of vacation we opted for a sunset dolphin cruise after a great last day on the beach we headed back to the harbor walk to board the sea blaster the winds had picked up in the afternoon and when we lest the bay the water was a little rough paige was not so sure about being on a boat that was being tossed around because of the rough water we were worried that we wouldn t get to see any dolphins we were wrong we saw several different groups of dolphins swimming they were really cool to watch my happy wind blown family we had an amazing vacation posted by tracy at 12 03 pm no comments thursday july 5 2012 good eats one of the best things about vacation is all the great places you get to eat when else do you eat out 5 nights in one week destin has a lot of great places to eat we mostly ate at touristy places the food was really good but the prices pretty high note for next year budget more money for food the crab trap was right across the street from the house we stayed in we ate there sunday night graffiti s was the one local place we ate at it was a cool pizza place the walls were covered with art that local artist had done all of the art was for sale mcguire s is a cool place that has 1 bills all over the walls ceiling everywhere they have great steaks harry t s is at the harbor walk and so is the crazy lobster of the 2 i would recommend harry t s posted by tracy at 3 02 pm no comments destin 2012 last week we spent our family vacation in destin florida with two other families we had a great time six adults and six kids i didn t really pack clothes for us to do pictures but i think these turned out pretty good posted by tracy at 2 40 pm no comments friday june 15 2012 step iii really long post this is the part of the whole process where things kinda go crazy the original plan was for me to be a peripheral blood stem cell donor pbsc this type of donation is done through a process called apheresis it s kind of like donating platelets they place needles in both arms draw blood out run it through a machine pull out what they need and put back what they don t need in order to donate this way you have to take shots of filgrastim for 5 days before your donation the shots are used to up your blood counts for donation this is the same medicine they give cancer patients to raise their blood counts for treatment the shots can make your bones ache and make you feel like you have the flu i was really not looking forward to these shots but wasn t to worried friday june 1st the day of my first shot we had arranged for me to be able to have all of my shots at dr white s office the first one would be given by lacey dr white s nurse then the others would be given by dr barton over the weekend i arrived at the office at 8 for my first shot lacey had everything ready i had to answer questions about how i am feeling she took my pulse and bp then she gave me the shot it didn t hurt to bad the medicine did sting a little going in for this first shot i had to stay for about 20 min to make sure i didn t have an allergic reaction nothing happened and i was allowed to leave looking back now i really didn t feel to good that morning i just thought i was nervous and tired i didn t sleep to good the night before as the day went on i felt really tired and had a headache about 5 30 a huge wave of nausea hit me i remember it i was sitting out on the front porch watching it rain i told gary don i was going to go in and lay down i barely made it in before the first vomiting hit o k this had me worried this is a symptom that i was supposed to call my coordinator about so i made the first call she was shocked to hear i was vomiting at this point i had only been sick once she told me to rest and text her if i was sick again for the next hour i had it coming from both ends pretty much constantly after several text back and forth everyone is thinking i must have a stomach bug or food poisoning no one has ever had this kind of reaction after the first shot after a long night i head back to the dr for shot number 2 and instructions for the nurse to call my donor coordinator before the shot is given did i mention at this point i am still vomiting my mom came over to take me to the dr because gary don and austin had left for little rock for the state trap competition when dr barton saw me he was very uncertain about giving me the shot after several calls between dr barton the donor coordinator and the medical director for be a match it was determined that i would not have shot number 2 i left there with a prescription for phenagrin and hopes to return on sunday to resume the shots side bar at this point the person who is to receive my donation is taking high doses of chemotherapy and if i am unable to donate they will likely die knowing this did not help my stress level i went home took a pill and went to sleep i was feeling a little better by saturday night ate very little soup and a couple of crackers all of which stayed down i slept pretty good and woke up feeling o k after everyone else left for church i thought i was feeling good enough to attempt sunday school i showered got around ate a piece of dry toast and drank ice water i made it to class sat about 5 min and realized i had way over done it left and came back home tried to take another phenagrin pill couldn t keep it down gary don came home from church and took me to the clinic again dr barton took one look at me and said no way he would give me the filgrastim shot instead he gave me a phenagrin shot liquid fire right in my bum this shot really hurt came home went back to bed later in the evening the donor coordinator called me and asked if i would be willing to change my donation process to the traditional bone marrow harvest yikes this meant a surgical procedure and more recovery time how could i say no knowing that a no would mean death for my patient knowing that teresa had sat in a room with michael waiting for cells to arrive knowing that something could go wrong i said yes but that i was worried about going into the procedure less than 100 at this point i had not had a meal since friday at lunch because the change of procedure would require an o r we were unsure of where this harvest would take place if an o r was not available in tulsa on tuesday the other option would be to fly to georgetown medical center in washington d c because they have a dedicated o r just for bone marrow harvesting had i felt better at this point that would have been an exciting option but it really just sounded exhausting monday morning i received word that tulsa could do the procedure first thing tuesday morning and that we should head to tulsa that night as planned gary don and i arrived in tulsa around 8 checked into the hotel and set out to find him some dinner at this point i still had not eaten a full meal but was feeling much better he wanted steak so we wen to outback i ordered a steak and baked potato also and ate the whole potato and a few bites of steak we had to be a the hospital at 5a m for pre op blood work and test first i had to pee in a cup then a blood draw then we were placed in a out patient pre op room i was very nervous everyone at the hospital was very nice and appreciative of what i was doing when the anaesthesiologist came in to talk about the procedure he asked if i was nervous i replied yes and he ordered 2 ativan sp for me after that things get fuzzy for me i remember being wheeled to the operating room waiting outside of it and meeting the surgical nurse and being wheeled into the operating room after that i don t really remember much next thing i remember is waking up in a room gary don being there and i think i remember seeing dr lynch i was told that they took 750ml of bone marrow from my hip bones we stayed all day most of which i don t remember we were discharged and i vaguely remember getting into the wheelchair and leaving the hospital the 2 hour drive home is also a blur i guess that is good i slept o k tuesday night and slept off and on all day wednesday austin was here to take care of me wednesday and he did a great job thursday things were better and by friday i was beginning to feel a little more like myself the whole process really was not that bad i have 5 puncture sites across my lower beak and a lot of bruising i think if i would have been 100 before hand it would have been even better over the weekend i was still very tired and sore but it gets a little better everyday i was able to help at vbs this week and come home in the afternoons and rest everyone asks about the recipient we may never know anything he was scheduled to receive my cells on thursday june 7th that is all i know everyone also asks if i would do it again i hope i would say yes without hesitation as i did this time posted by tracy at 1 49 pm 2 comments may 22 step ii on tuesday may 22nd after graduating from preschool ann lori and i headed off to tulsa for my physical the first stop was at the doctor s office who would be overseeing my donation this stop was a little over whelming the doctor is an oncology doctor i didn t get a picture of his office sitting in his office waiting room seeing people in the middle of the fight of their lives was very humbling it made the whole process of bone marrow donation very real while here i met dr lynch his p a erin and janice the donor coordinator erin preformed a physical and they all asked a lot of questions i got to share a little of michael s story with them when they asked how i got on the be a match registry they also thanked me over and over for my willingness to donate after leaving the oncology office we had to travel across town to the hospital lab for another blood draw after the blood draw we had to go to another office across the street for an ekg and a cheat x ray thru this whole process and all the testing i kept wondering if they were going to find something wrong with me after a long afternoon of testing for me and shopping for my friends we ended our time in tulsa with a yummy dinner at abuealos on the saturday after the physical i was called and told that i had the final approval to donate posted by tracy at 12 14 pm no comments sunday may 20 2012 little did i know little did i know two years ago when i went to rocktober feast to support a friend who s son was in need of a bone marrow transplant that i would get a letter in april of 2012 the letter arrived asking if i was still interested in being a donor and that i was a possible match for a patient in need i went online and updated my contact information like the letter asked a couple of weeks went by and i didn t hear anything then i received a phone call them you have been identified as a possible match for a patient are you still interested in proceeding me yes i was asked to answer a health information form online and submit it that done i was left waiting again wondering if i would be chosen week later i got another phone call this one confirmed me as a match for an adult male with non hodgkin s lymphoma a time was arranged for a lengthy phone conference on may 9th i had my phone conference i haven t talked on the phone that long since high school step i last monday may 14 i went to a lab in fort smith for some lab work the woman working at the lab was wonderful and in no time at all had taken 7 viles of blood from my left arm i jokingly asked if i was going to have any blood left when she was done the blood was sent to 3 different locations some will be tested for infectious disease hope those are all negative some will be used for further testing to insure that i am the best possible match and some will be kept on file for research studies step ii will take place this tuesday may 22nd i travel to tulsa i have recruited 2 great friends to travel with me thanks ann and lori to meet with the doctor to make sure i am physically fit to donate and some more tests ekg and chest x ray donation is set for june 5th if all goes according to plan posted by tracy at 1 58 pm no comments older posts home subscribe to posts
