June 27, 2013..  A doctor came by about 6 p.m. yesterday from the office that did my neck surgery and removed the staples from my surgery incision. The chemo bags ran out about 10:00pm last night. I thought I would be free and unhooked from the IV lines and pumps but they put me on a 10 hour infusion of potassium. I also received a bag of platelets. My white count had dropped to 1.74 when they drew the blood samples about 5am today. I am having some slight nausea at times but nothing bad so far. 
The doctor that makes rounds each day and has been very helpful in providing information asked me if I had a medical background. I told him no and he said I seemed to know a lot about multiple myeloma and treatment. I said I felt like the more I know, the better off I would be. I was pleased with his comment but I wish I knew nothing about multiple myeloma.

I tried to post last night using email and it did not work. I think I have it ok now so if there is a posting that has a smaller font and looks different, it will be due to sending the post via email. Doing this will help me since I don't have to get the computer out and set it up. I have the posting time set to central time. It has not been set for that time zone in the past.
