Long day at the hospital getting red blood cells and platelets in preparation for the flight tomorrow to Oahu. Enjoyed a hospital lunch and snuck three small bags of M&Ms while sitting there.
At my request, Dr. Okazaki came to visit and talk about the surgery plan and how he will be tied into the surgery progress and data for platelet counts. He reminded me that this is a risky surgery due to ITP but the plan for closing off the artery to the spleen should reduce the blood enough. They'll keep platelets flowing into me until they see some stability or rise in count.
Started the day with one hour of sleep after a night of pain in my hip again... sciatic nerve pain and such. I've been delinquent in dealing with this officially with the physician. Hopefully it won't be a major issue over the next few days related to surgery and then I'll just nail it next week. Tired of feeling this pain and not sleeping.
