Just a quick note...

07:57PM -- Things are relatively quiet here. Larry is dealing with nausea today. He went to dialysis and dialyzed 3½ hours yesterday. Ending B/P was 175/80...not bad for him. His beginning weight was 91.5 kilos, so we lowered his target weight to 89.5 kilos from 90 kilos. This means he's still losing weight. His apettite is still waning. Things are either too sweet or too salty. I know this is related to his taste buds, because the comments are from foods he used to eat without such a complaint. Could be the meds doing it also. His pain has been lower today and he hasn't had to take anything extra, which means the pain patch was enough. He's passing small amounts of blood clots but nothing substantial. He's weaker. I'm having to help him get onto his sliding board to move from the bed to the wheelchair. Then, I also have to help him move his right leg (i.e., moving it on the bed or picking it up to get it in the van). However, he's still looking forward to Sunday and the ZZ Top concert! My only concern is getting him into the car AFTER the concert and then into the house. Perhaps he'll sleep on the ride home...rested enough and gotten some of his strength back from the exertion of the ride up there and the excitement during the show.

Just want to send our thoughts and prayers to all who have been sick in the family...Alyce, Ernestine, and Sue. Glad to hear everyone is getting along better and will soon be fully recovered!
