Multiple Myeloma

5-28-16

As expected, the offending blood test was more offensive this past week and the infusions restarted.  I am on two weeks, off two weeks (the second on will be June 2), and back with Dr. Abonour on 6-22.

I always have an up then down time from the steroid infusion which accompanies the chemo.  But, probably exasperated by a severe cold, no previous down could compete with the one beginning Thursday afternoon and continuing all day yesterday.  I was more than a little worthless, not even able to sleep, which I don't do well under normal circumstances.  In one of my more lucid moments, I suggested to Mary Ann that she take me to a motel - she kept me here.

Obviously, since I am here reporting, I am much better this morning, not normal, whatever that is, but close.  If I can get a nap or two today, I may enjoy the holiday.  Hoping to get to Laura's on Monday to meet Adam's soon to be in-laws - still regret Mary Ann and I will not make the California wedding. 

Still have the feet and fatigue problems, may be making some improvement with feet, none with fatigue.  No heart problems.  Even with the lousy cold, clear lungs according to Dr. A.

I will get back here soon after June 22.  As always, best to you readers.
