Today I haven't felt so great. We had an appointment scheduled at the Urgent Care Department at the Hospital to have labs drawn and a possible transfusion. We arrived there at 130p, six hours later we got to leave. Good news and bad, the good news my creatinin number dropped to 2.0 from 2.6 on Saturday so that was a great thing. My hemoglobin dropped from 8.0 to 7.5 so because of this they wanted to transfuse. So I got a bag of blood today, which I am optimistic that I won't have to get one tomorrow. My platelets dropped from 34 to 16 so because of this I got a bag of platelets, they also felt my magnesium was low so I got a bag of Magnesium. All of these I hope will make my doctors appointment go smoother tomorrow. I have already knocked on wood.
Going to the bathroom right now is somewhat painful for me. They said that this is common with chemotherapy. The nurse did give me some Kolace and Senna to help with this problem. As a precaution the Urgent Care doctor ordered an X-Ray of my lower abdomen, these results will be available to my doctor tomorrow morning to see if this can get resolved. We're pretty wiped out from just sitting today, just sitting and waiting.
