Well…..at this time things are not what I’d like them to be. Nancy’s weight has dropped to about 99lbs. Last week Nancy was sick for a number of days w/something? Cold…...maybe but she was having a lot of issues w/sinuses and her eyes matting up, headaches, fever….guess that should be enough.


Okay….so I started this back in the middle of March. So now I’m picking back up from there. Had a lot of things come about since then (including my job change, etc) but more w/Nancy.


I’ll just start of w/the visit to see Brenda (Keep’s PA) a coupla of weeks ago. Port flush, usual stuff – checkup, questions, answers, etc. So…then a week later Nancy noticed that her feet /ankles were swollen. Okay…this is a concern since most of the time these symptoms are heart related and I wasn’t quite up to a heart attack in the middle of the night. She made an appointment to which they made “room” for her (she is extremely special at this place) and we were there the next afternoon. So after a lot of this & that and more questions and answers Brenda decided that it “could” be advantageous to pump some fresh blood into her system. So last Friday-4/9 Nancy went to Mercy and had a transfusion of 2bags pumped into her system that took about 4 hrs.


I picked her up around 1:15pm and came directly home and she basically just slept all day long. That was the complete take for the entire weekend. Sleep-watch some TV and still eating very little and the eating very little is the major cause of all the above.


Brenda stated that this wasn’t heart related but basically a sever lack of nutrition. The red blood count is way down and Nancy is extremely anemic. I really don’t think that there is any one thing that is going to work at this point. This Megace (appetite stimulant) does not seem to do anything for her. No change what so ever in the eating habits. She isn’t even able to eat 4-5-6 “small” meals throughout the day. What can ya do? Nothing at this point I don’t think.


Fatigue: always and ever present – can’t get past it. It’s basically like being under nourished. No calories-no energy. Her heart rate sky rocket off the charts just doing basic “walking” (very, very slow pace) from one part of the house to the other….and our house is not big!


That’s about all I can expound on at this point. I am a nuisance most of the time ‘cuz I don’t let anything slide. Someone’s gotta do….it’s my job!


I really will try to do another update before it gets too far off this next time. I just feel like it will be a repeat only on a more accelerated level.


So groovy peepz…..as usual….keep your head down and your back flat!


Train hard, train smart and you will kick ass at the races!!


Mucho love,
Roger
