Sitting in my IV chair weighing the news of a low platelet count just one day after getting new ones. Ugh.
Now the planning is all about the surgery to get my spleen (a splenectomy for those readers wanting to google the procedure). Just got a call from the nurse... 11-12 October time frame in Oahu. The surgeon wants me over there a day early to consult. I suggested an earlier consultation via skype or other means. We'll see if their procedures are flexible. Pressing the limits. Apparently, they tie off the artery to the spleen and that makes it a fairly bloodless operation. A few days recovery.
They need an EKG before surgery, so I'll do that. I'll go get some vaccinations too that sets me up for the degraded future immunity.
What is this?
