1 October 2012

IV treatment today for platelets.

The arm "infection" is now being postulated to be some kind of fungus, possibly a ringworm thing.  No idea how that comes up on my forearm, but there it is.  Waiting for a doctor to come in and verify.

Hemoglobin at 8.5 (up from 7.7 earlier).  That seems like a mediocre increase considering the two units on Friday.  Rituxin is still messing with me I think.  Platelets at 6K... better than the typical 3 on a Monday.  Plenty of indicator sores in my mouth and dots on my legs.  I think the  yard work (minimal as it was) this weekend was a bit too much.

Solicited more details on the upcoming surgery from the main nurse Sandie.  Times, names, etc.  Hopefully she gets back with me soon.
