3 October 2012 - Casey's Birthday!!!!

I started my day with the platelet IV followed by three vaccination shots to ward off pneumonia strains, some kind of influenza and meningitis.  My arm feels GREAT.  Also had an EKG to check the heart for abnormalities, etc. 

P-Count was 4.  That was disappointing, but nothing new.
Go A's!  That's got nothing to do with my physical health, but adds some to the mental state of being. 

It was good to get some work done too, thought it wasn't much more than talking. 

Surgery information is trickling in.  Apparently, I get a catheter in an artery leading up to my spleen to shut off the bleeding... my primary care guy noted that they use an intentional embolism to close it off.  That's a bit different than the specialist described... gotta do some reading.  This happens on the 11th and then spleen removal and disposal occurs on the 12th.  No times yet.  Will investigate further tomorrow with the nurse in Oahu.
