Another setback in the battle

I hope you are winning that fight. Great to see you post. We've been worried about you.
 
If all goes well, the worn out farmer will be released from the hospital in Elmira tomorrow morning.
I broke down and called the hospital this evening and talked to him for a while.

Main concerns were fluid and excess potassium. They're giving him a different diuretic apart from the loop variety I believe, but don't really understand that as he'd explained it to me about the potassium, but if I understood him it'll be more something like microzide.

Anyway, he sounds good and was bitching about being on fluid restrictions (really?? :confused2: ) :yum:

----- Watch this space -----
 
Got out of there this morning. Changing some meds around and will be seeing the kidney doc as well as getting extra blood drawn.
 
Glad to hear you're doing better Muley.

Thanks for all the updates PG.
 
I talked to him yesterday on the telephono.
His biggest issue now is the fluid in the legs/weeping.

All things around the farm are being taken care of by the young Amish boys.
He's already worried about getting wood split for later on.
Told him to worry about that later on.
He sounded great and is in good spirits.
 
Good news PG. I miss the ol' asshat.

He hasn't posted a picture of a screaming Hilary in months ... and for that I'm eternally grateful. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
 
Thanks for the update. Totally sucks for him. :(

My bad...
I talked to him again a little while ago and he said so far, it's not going to be another hospital stay as far as he knows, but with his cell counts being off the charts and the legs constantly draining fluid (still)- I think they'll admit him.
 
Kewl. Thanks for the clarification. Hope they do him right (admit him or not)
 
He'd been told to double up on the chemo drug (the one that's $_ _,000!) per month.
Sure hope this does something positive.
Today I think is the day he's to consult back with his doctor to check things out.

Thanks for the update.

I hope the extra drugs help.

Bill, if you read this we are all thinking of you.

His ears must have been burning or something.
He called me very shortly after I posted the above. :smile:
He knows we all are concerned and love him.
