Friday

Today was fluids and platelets. I talked to Dr. Martin for a bit. I ran into him as I was leaving and he wanted to chat some. He isn't too concerned that my counts aren't coming back. He thinks we need to get started on the transplant soon before we lose the window that was created by my last dose of Melphalan. He also says he wants to start me on dialysis next week. I agree with him. I'm having a lot of stiffness and pain in some of my joints so maybe dialysis will help. I go into Mt Zion tomorrow for a couple of units of blood.
