I just got home about 5:30 after getting into the clinic at 8 this morning. This is the particular day of the cycle when they want blood draws every 5, 15, 30, 60, 120 ,etc minutes after the infusion. They also take three EKGs and start a 24-hour urine collection. So I'll be toting my pee around all evening. Good thing I'm not going out. My hemaglobin is low so they decided to give me two units of blood. I thought that was kind of odd. I'm pretty short of breath but my energy has been coming back the past few days. Yesterday I even went for a long walk. Long for me anyway, I walked over to the Civic Center Farmer's Market - about a mile. My creatinine is down - maybe that's it.
The clinic was really busy today. I got there at 8 and there was a line down the hall to check in. Since I had gotten my blood tests yesterday, I got in pretty quickly. Shin-Shin was my nurse today. She's nice and really cute but less talkative than the other nurses.
I have got to get a handicapped parking placard soon. It was $30 parking today. I went out to Pasta Pomodoro for lunch and so I got two parking charges instead of the one-day max of $24.
Back tomorrow for another infusion but without all the EKGs and blood draws.
