Had my regular doctor visit on wednesday. Liver is slowly getting better but is still not back to the point where we can lower the steroid dose. Maybe in a fortnight it might be in a good enough condition to change the steroid dose.
Off to the hospital friday morning for some IV fluid and magnesium. The IV fluid is for the kidneys.
I bought one of these for my iMac. Not too bad. Complete waste of money of course when I have a perfectly usable mouse.
Over one year since my stem cell transplant and leaving hospital – a double anniversary if you like. My transplant was on the 14th of July. I left hospital on the 14th of August.
I notice on a previous blog entry around that time that I optimistically thought I would be back at work before christmas – it took until March before I was back at work part-time.
Well, I got out of hospital on Monday last week. It would appear that it was probably gall stones but who knows. A few days after leaving hospital and my colour is back to normal – no more yellow eyes and skin. I did have elevated creatinine levels probably due to all the problems with the ‘gall stones’. I had to pop into hospital on the wednesday to get a couple of litres of IV fluid.
It is now a one week after leaving hospital and I feel quite OK now. I had a blood test on monday and no calls from the hospital so the kidneys appear to be OK.
