Tuesday, 05:15PM -- Larry still isn't feeling up to par. Actually, he told his nephrology doctor that he feels "lousy". He's been nauseated and in pain all day. He's taken 2 (1 each) of his nausea pills, and has had his second dose of Dilaudid today. He did go to dialysis, but wanted to come home almost as soon as he got there. I talked him into staying at least 2-3 hours since he was already there. (He stayed 3.) However, I did have to come home and take him a dose of his Dilaudid back in to him. He's very weak, and I had my neighbor raise the height of his ramp so it would be easier on him getting in and out of the van. His hemaglobin is at 10.1 and they have cross-matched him for a transfusion on Thursday if it has dropped into the 9-range. He weighed in at 92 kilos and his ending weight was 89.8 kilos (just under his target weight of 90 kilos.) I picked him up around 4PM today and he came home and went straight to bed. He's cold, so I've shut the windows. (It's currently 70ยบ here, so not hot by any means. Nice break!!!) I'll try to type more in a bit.
