As you can see from the picture I may have a second calling when all this is said and done...as a pharmacist. It seems that one pill gives you certain side effects that you need another pill to correct and it keeps going and going and going.
Monday we had an appointment at the doctor's office and all of the results were good.....we thought. Upon returning to our room we received a call from the Dr's nurse who had mis-read the lab results and my Creatinin function was not 1.2 like she had said but had gone up to 1.8. This prompted an unscheduled visit today. 7 hours and a blood transfusion, magnesium and a bag of saline later our day was pretty much over. Even though the numbers looked good they want to make sure I am in tip top condition for chemo this Friday. Makes sense but still stinks to waste a day in a chair.
No doctor's appointments tomorrow, but we have to drop something off over there anyway. It always seems to be something or another.
Hello to all. I know it is my job and not to comment but a couple of people inquired that they were unable to make comments on the blog. What I did was from the main blog in the upper right hand corner I signed in with our Google login and then came down to where it said comments and clicked on it and proceeded to post this comment. Hope this helps. -John

ReplyDeleteYour medicine cabinet may start to resemble Elvis's.
ReplyDeleteremember the days when it was beer cans stacked up like that?
ReplyDeleteDare I say that you might actually have more pills than dad right now!!! Do you take all 30 at one time and just swallow them in one gulp like the Big Guy!!!! He prefers to his with a G&T where you probably take yours with water.
ReplyDeleteStill making love to his tonic and gin huh? :)
ReplyDeleteHey John, if it makes you feel any better, you still have a ways to go to catch my friend Kyle here in LA that had a heart transplant. His stash of drugs is quite impressive! I'm sure it's no fun though.
Hang in there man....hope you're in good shape for Friday.
John: We all at Reedman Toll miss you very much, your always smiling face. I think of you 2 everyday. You are very lucky to have each other. mary
