Early To Bed, Early To Rise...

09:01AM -- Another quote I am not particularly fond of no matter how true it may be! Anyway...I did go to bed early and was up and at it by 6:35 this morning! I know...I know....Try not to faint! I got some house cleaning done and then enjoyed my coffee and cigs. Larry woke up around 8:30ish...nauseated as usual. He took a nausea pill and I gave him an Ensure to swallow it with. He wants a bowl of cereal this morning for breakfast. This is a dialysis day and he is suppose to be transfused. I'll ask that they do another hemoglobin check prior to it just to make sure he still needs one. Most likely he does as he's not real energetic this morning either. That's about it so far today. I'll be back later with an update on how his day went.

05:53PM -- Well, I picked Larry up around 4:45pm today at dialysis. They did give him 2 units of blood. His hemoglobin was 7.7 which is actually what it was on Tuesday instead of 7.9 as they had told us. He's taking a nap right now and isn't hungry. He had a case of heartburn that he failed to mention to me last night, although he did tell me he had heartburn this morning and asked for 3 Tums. That and the Ensure constituted his breakfast. He opted out of the cereal...before I actually fixed it. He still has stomach pain this evening, so he took a percocet which are 10/325mg each. His ending B/P was 158/78 and his ending weight was 89.9 kilos. His beginning weight (pre-dialysis) today was 93 kilos. His actual target weight at the end of dialysis is 91 kilos so he is a little more than 1 kilo under what his ending weight should be. He isn't going to dialysis this Saturday either. He's opted out of his Saturday dialysis for well over 2 months now. Okay...that's about it for the moment. More later...
