The Lord is my Rock, my fortress and my deliverer, my God
is my Rock, in Whom I take refuge
Psalm 18:2a
Since I have last blogged I was at the hematologist and got an IV iron transfusion. Instead of
giving me 8 or 10 weeks in a row and then have to have that many in a few months again, he decided to give me monthly maintenance transfusions. That should keep my blood levels more even instead of the highs and lows. He is also sending me to the surgeon, which I have an appt. tomorrow for the consultation to have a mediport put in instead of the PICC line. The PICC line can only be left in for 6 months or so, you have to be careful and not get it wet, have to flush it daily, and is a line showing from your arm. The mediport is placed in your chest and is under the skin, can be there permanently and is much less care. The only thing is it does require surgery, which with my asthma right now we will see what they say.
Monday night around 2:oo in the morning I starting vomiting and have been sick every since. It hits about 3 to 4 hours after I take my medication. I have nausea medication to take, so that is helping, but one more med!! We will see what the Dr. says tomorrow. I have a feeling I am not going to be able to stay on this new asthma med. It is not doing that much anyway, with a lot of risks and side effects.
That is the latest here. Hope all is going well in your world. Thanks for your prayers, your love and concern. We love you all!!
