Can we get it back – Chapter 33
“That is great. If everything looks good in the afternoon, I will discharge you. The only thing you’ll need, is rest. And that you can do at home. Probably better than you will here.” Dr. Scott explains. “I’ll get your other doctor come by during the day to inform you of your radiation treatment plan for the last week.” Dr. Scott says.
“Okay, good. Thank you.” Bette replies.
Dr. Scott writes something down in Bette’s chart and then leaves the room.
“That was good news babe. You might come home today already.” Tina says as she takes a seat on the bedside.
“Yeah. I hope that the radiation won’t be delayed too much. I just want to it be over and done with, so I can get my life back.” Bette says as she takes Tina’s hand and plays with it.
“Let’s just wait for the doctor and see what he says. I’m sure it will work out okay.” Tina says.
“Yeah.” Bette whispers back.
A few hours later, Dr. Stenton walk into the room.
“Hi ladies.” He says with a smile on his face.
“Hi, Dr.” Both Bette and Tina replies.
“How are you feeling Bette?” Dr. Stenton asks.
“Right now, I feel fine.” Bette replies. “I’ll feel even better if you say we can continue with the radiation as planned.” Bette adds.
“Well, let’s see about that shall we.” Dr. Stenton says as he takes a look at the chart. “I’ve talked with Dr. Scott, and I think we can continue as planned. But when we release you today, you have to rest, do not do anything during the weekend. Just rest, okay?” Dr. Stenton says.
“I’ll make sure she doesn’t do anything.” Tina says as she looks at Dr. Stenton confirmative.
“Good. We’ll schedule the appointment in the late afternoon that day, give you a few extra hours.” Dr. Stenton says with a smile.
“Okay. Thank you. I’m so ready to get this over an done with.” Bette says. “To get my life back.” She adds.
“And we’ll get you there. It looks good. I am confident in your recovery.” Dr. Stenton says.
Bette smiles as reply as she dries a tear. Tina softly place her hand on Bette’s shoulder.
“That’s good to hear.” Bette replies softly.

Thanks for posting but now very confused. No diagnosis? Just Tina’s speculation? A concussion is serious business. Bette really needs much better nutrition than pizza. And she should not be walking unassisted. She can go down again. Why did her blood pressure drop? And Angie does not want to rush to see her mom? From unconscious to eating pizza. Like I said – confused.

I am with you Billy.
When my Mom was sick you couldn’t get me to leave her side.
And Bette’s taste buds are probably a mess at this point.
Billy says
Same. Yes the metallic taste.

Thank you for another post. Going through Tibette story withdrawals the past couple of days.
Billy says
I have been rereading old favs.

So, we do not know why Bette was unconscious for 5 hours? And we do not know about her irregular pulse and breathing – sometimes this is a sign of heart problems. And her diet is terrible…. she needs some real nutrition and to eat possibly more often – 4 meals a day rather than just three. Maybe some soups and simple fruits, eggs and smoothies.
Glad Bette is home and her last treatment will not be post phoned. However, Tina needs to be better prepared for the nausea and the sudden need for the bathroom. Its part of taking care of someone who is sick.
Thanks for the update.
Billy says
I was wondering about her heart as well.

Good to see Bette home but i too wonder what caused Bette’s blood pressure going so low and she was unconscious for five hours. That’s not good.
I love pizza but shouldn’t she eat healtier?
A nice long vacation after she has recovered, i need that too, can i come with them?
Zhenya says
Maybe it’s some effects of Bette’s treatment? We’ll see if her pressure would be fine after treatment ends

Hi Lauren,
Great to see your update. Like most of the other readers, I too am concerned about the reason for Bette’s blood pressure to drop & was does that mean for her long term recovery.
I do have a few questions though that many of the readers have mentioned as well & not that I’m being negative, just wanna make sure I’m on the same page as everyone else – so here goes –
Why isn’t Tina more prepared for Bette’s sudden nausea? A container or bucket for Bette to be sick in so she doesn’t have to rush off to the bathroom? Some towels, paper towels, tissues within easy reach? Blankets & pillows in the living room for easy access?
I know when I was recovering from my cancer treatments, it was imperative to eat well balanced, nutritious food. As Billy said , most food do taste metallic, so Tina needs to have some options for Bette. Smaller, more frequent meals is the path to go. Don’t overwhelm Bette’s digestive system.
Is Bette’s cancer in remission or has it been entirely removed???
Thanks for the update & looking forward to more.
Have a great week.
Collins
