Multiple Myeloma

9-21-13

This is an attempt to update this blog for the past three days.  Unfortunately, that requires long term memory, with which I have difficulty, but so be it.

But for some unsteady walking, by Wednesday I felt free from the steroid crash and had lunch with three good friends, a gathering I hope can continue in the future.  I returned home and had the longest and deepest nap I can recall.  I awoke with what I can only describe as "blahs" - not very pleasant.  I did at dinner finish off the third 21 day regimen.

Thursday and Friday were both blah days - bad enough that I could not drive.  Mary Ann took me to the Dr.'s office on Friday afternoon, where I gave the blood for tests we will discuss with Dr. Milton next Tuesday.  The routine tests, oxygen, blood pressure, temperature, and pulse were excellent.  Compared to many there, I looked the picture of health - not a pretty picture but s healthy one.

Now early Saturday morning, the blahs seem to have gone, and I am hoping to be able this evening to attend a 90th birthday party for Frank Swingle.  Frank has been a good friend and often a good adviser for my activities at Meridian Hills. 

I don't know the extent to which the blahs of recent days can be attributed to my treatments, to having been off the regimen since Wednesday.  Maybe we will know more on Tuesday.
