The APN had told me yesterday she was going to delay increasing my dosage to maximum but today there were orders for the 4pm injection to be at maximum of 900 mcg. The dosage is 600 mcg in the morning and 900 mcg in the afternoon. That will probably be the dosage until the collection is finished. My APN was not there today so it might have been the apheresis doctor that increased the dosage.
The APN that was filling in for my APN today told me I would need to take Tamiflu all through the flu season. She said the flu shot that I got would not help me now. I am going to check further on this before I start taking the Tamifu daily.
As we walk through the parking garage each time, I check out car tags to see where patients have driven from. I have been seeing one from Virginia there that had a sticker on it from Morgan-McClure in Castlewood and Coeburn. Last week, I saw one from Morristown so there are folks from near back home here too. Today, I also saw one from California and Colorado. There were many other states but they were the farthest.
Thanks to each person who has left a comment in the blog. Although I don't reply to the comments, I read each one more than once.
I am so thankful for Reta to be by my side each minute of the day. She gets up each day at 5:30, goes with me to the hospital, stays with me for many, many hours and then takes care of things in the apartment like preparing food and keeping everything going. I will be forever thankful for her.
