Pharmacy Mission for Discharge Prescriptions tomorrow completed August 26 2011

Faye Hummel had to go down to the University of Colorado Hospital Atrium Pharmacy twice with my long list of discharge medications, but she "gotter done". I wanted to get this all lined up before tomorrow which is Saturday and everyone knows things are harder on the weekend.

The Pharmacy did not initially have all the orders, but after a trip upstairs and the help of Nurse Kelly and Pharmacist Jeff, the orders were sent down to the Pharmacy. Thank you friend!!!! Faye told me that she liked going down to the Pharmacy, because while she waited, she went out in the sunshine and warmed up - EVERYONE thinks it is freezing in my hospital room. Here is Faye while she visits :)


Medications  I'll be taking on discharge:
  • Neuopogen injections daily to stimulate my bone marrow to mobilize stem cells for 2nd round of stem cell harvest beginning September 6 2011
  • Claritin antihistamine which may help to reduce bone pain associated with Neupogen use
