Starting the last two days, Doug is feeling a lot better. His blood pressure has stabilized and the discomfort is less. He is going on short walks with me. We think maybe the obstruction is resolving on its own - hope so!
We didn't get in with the gastroenterologist who comes to Salida, but we do have an appointment with one in Colorado Springs, for next week. Even though Doug is doing so much better, we will keep that appointment.
In trying to get an appointment, we learned that before one even gets an appointment with a specialist, the insurance company has to pre-approve it. I remember the days when physicians used to run medical care. And prescription drugs were not advertised on TV. I even remember when it was unethical for lawyers and physicians to advertise their services.
Doug had a repeat CBC blood test on Monday - his counts are up enough to start back on chemo.
Love to all.
A journey dealing with Multiple Myeloma, from the viewpoint of the wife. The road is sometimes a smooth highway and sometimes a bumpy dirt trail. But we are never lost. God walks with us. Doug was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in August 2008. As of October 2011, Doug's Myeloma has morphed into Lambda Light Chain Myeloma.
