A turn for the worse
I had mentioned being extremely fatigued. Last Sunday I was still fatigued and I had an appointment at Mt Zion for a blood draw prior to another infusion on Monday at Parnassus. On the way there, I made a wrong turn and got very confused finding it. I was all the way up in Pacific Heights before I realized I was going to the wrong way then I was have trouble getting back. I finally made it and just then Ashley called and I told her the trouble I was having so she came over and met me at Mt Zion. The nurses did the draw and wanted me to go to the hospital so Ashley drove me over and helped me get checked in. They think my disorientation is due to kidney failure but but is getting better, although I am typing lots of b's for r's. I'm not needing to sleep all day anymore and this is the first time I've felt strong enough to get to the lounge and use the computer. I won't be checking my email as I imagine this computer is compromised with a keystroke logger. There was also some fluid in my lungs that they drew and it happened to have much higher levels of myeloma. So it's very unusual and the doctors don't have a textbook plan of attack. Right now I am taking dexamethasone to deal with the myeloma and Zofran and Ativan so I can eat.
