Health Update

Hi everyone!

Yesterday we went to Omaha and talking to my liver doctor. He didn't change anything in my care, except to have a nutritionist call me with more ideas on how to keep the weight on.

We got to do some fun shopping in Omaha. It pretty much finished me off, but I'm glad we did it.

I was calling back the gyno's office just as we pulled into our driveway and they said they wanted me to come in and get my hemoglobin checked since I had been bleeding more. So, we went straight to their office. My hemoglobin was very low at 8.4 and they decided to admit me so they could give me a blood transfusion and observe me overnight.

I got to be in the brand new women's area at Bryan East. The rooms are really, really fancy. The toilet seats are heated and the toilets even have special washers in them so you can keep clean "down there". It was so awesome.

Still, I was very glad to come home this afternoon. I'm not feeling so weak and the pain isn't as bad and I'm not bleeding so much. So fingers crossed!

Tomorrow I'm going to see some gyno specialists in Omaha and they will decide where we need to go from here. Since I didn't get many of the menopausal effects from the lupron shots it seems that the liver didn't assimilate them like it should. So, my gyno decided it would be good for me to see specialists who were in the same place as my liver doctors, that way they could all work together, especially if I have to have a surgery or procedure (which may happen if things don't improve, but I have high hopes since I'm doing so much better today).

If I start bleeding more again I'm supposed to go straight to Omaha.

Right now I am enjoying being back at home!!
