Infusion #8 went well today. This is the last of the weekly infusion of dara. The next one is in two weeks.
Doug lost another pound - he weighed 152 today. He was dehydrated, I wonder if that could account for the weight loss? He got an extra bag of fluids. The nurse looks at his tongue to tell if he is dehydrated. He is eating fairly well - now we have to concentrate on drinking more.
Last week Doug's platelet count was low at 103. Today it was 142 - much better!
Yesterday Doug got the new Shingrex shingles vaccine, on the recommendation of the Denver specialist. There has been a shortage and many people are waiting. The pharmacist said he would move Doug to the top of the list due to his immune compromised status. That's good small town service!
Doug did not feel like driving today. His eyesight, although much improved with new glasses in combination with scleral lenses, is really not great. He says he will drive in town but not on the highway. That's okay.
That's all folks. Love to all!
