I took some notes so I might remember it all… So far he has recieved 3 units of blood. As far as I know the RBC (red blood cells) are holding but I’ll need to ask for sure. Between the back, the weird stomach/chest/upper GI pain and some abdomen pain…it took a bit to get it all under control. He …
A Set Back
Today during dialysis, things seemed off. The machine was going off but he wasn’t doing the normal things that might set it off. He said he didn’t feel awesome this morning.He started out weighing less again (remember we don’t take fluids off right now) and with about 45 mins left he was trying to eat and felt like food was …
Never underestimate your Chiro!!
Nov 8th short and sweet. We had State Finals for CC on Saturday and sadly…Mark could could not go, even though he seriously considered it several times. It was a great running day weather wise…and we were seeded at 6th…so to come out as 2nd was HUGE!!! When you read articles about Hart…how they were a bit scared of Kent …
The Rest of the Week
November 3rd We got up at the butt-crack of dawn so we could get dialysis done and get to an 11:30 appointment in Grand Rapids. I’ve said this over and over to my clients and friends…just get up! Tossing around and looking at the clock never added more rest! Just get up!! But its hard. I wasted 5 minutes or …
November 2nd
I need to go back to the Alma story. I forgot the best part! So Alma is obedient, comes over to pray. She told me Wed morning that she couldn’t stop thinking of Mark and that was his worst morning with his back. So then Friday he really didn’t do much because walking was becoming hard and he was in …
oopsy daisy
I took a while to get back on here and will forget so much! Its November. ??? What? I don’t get it! We are on season 4 of Survivor, in case you wanted to know. I should be out on a night walk, getting fresh air and sluffing off the blah on me…but here I am. Shopping for an area …
October 27th Yesterday I hauled Mark up to the house…to see the new countertop but also with hopes of getting some work done. He didn’t feel awesome but knew he should get out of his chair and move and get a change of scenary. Earlier, whil he was dialyzing….I was texting a friend and told her it was my anniversary. …
A New Week with New Fun Stuff
Is stuff spelled with 2 F’s??? I’m losing it. October 25th Mark was able to not take pain meds Saturday and Sunday but it caught up with him Sunday night and by Monday morning he was in alot of pain. He had to take them so he could sit through dialysis. Weirdly enough…he was actually up 3x in the night …
I Think We Lost October Too.
October 21-10:20am I thought appraisal day was tomorrow. Whoops. Good thing I already took the time to clean countertops, sweep floor and put dishes away. It helps but I would have preferred it to present better. Mark is SOOO tired. We think it’s the Lenvima. Side affects are fatigue and headaches (among other things) and he is experiencing both. He …
Short and Sweet-little tweets
October 18th I thought I’d do smaller short updates between publishing so I could get more details but its already Monday! I’m not looking forward to dialysis. I just don’t want to do it but once again remind myself, I’m not the patient. Mark does not enjoy this either. Saturday was the race and I did post about that on …
