I made another brief stay in the hospital this week. I went in Friday morning to get platelets, but stayed overnight for observation. It was one of those “as long as you’re here” things where I was able to get the fluid on my abdomen drained Saturday morning. What a relief! I had been feeling like I was 9+ months pregnant. The radiologist drained off three liters this time. I hope I will be able to get a catheter soon, then I can just “open the tap” and drain it at home. Anyway, I’m hoping to get a new graft for dialysis access maybe this week, if my platelets increase enough. Then I can get chemo again as soon as possible. In the meantime, I’m feeling really good right now, probably courtesy of the steriods I got while in the hospital, and look forward to getting over this latest rough patch.
Thank you as always for your continued prayers.
