Last time I wrote was the day after the girls and Tristan left.
I didn't write anymore until today because really it was a pretty crappy week. In many ways.
We went to the wound nurse on Monday, she did her thing and it seemed to be OK. The next day it was Marvin's birthday,we decided we would go out to eat the day after because of dialysis, so we didn't do anything and he was not feeling great.
Wednesday I had an appointment with the ophtalmologist at 7:45AM, eyes dilated,my dry eyes are a lot better but my vision in the right eye is bad (long distance), I also have a freckle in my left eye and the beginning of a cataract. However, the doctor said my eyes are 10 years younger than me?! He seemed very pleased. After that I had some blood tests again, then drove home. My pupils were enormous!
When I got home, I went with Marvin to a different Kaiser for his blood test. We decided to go to a late lunch after I took a nap because my eyes were still very dilated and I couldn't read or play in the computer. When I woke up Marvin said he was not feeling well,so we didn't go to eat.
Thursday he went to dialysis, he was not feeling well, when he came home he was very weak. I was not feeling great either, I think I was catching a cold. I spent most of the day in bed, just getting up to go pick him up.
Friday we got a call from dialysis that we needed to go ASAP to ER because his blood was very low, so we got there by 9 and luckily there were not too many people, they admitted him and came the long wait for test results etc etc. I was feeling queasy and went to the cafeteria but I had some soup that made me even sicker. Finally around 1:00 the doctor said he needed 3 units of blood and to get ready for transfusions. Still more tests to match the blood etc. He said it be probably late at night when he would be thru. I left and went to the wound nurse again since we had another appointment, just to tell her he was in the ER and to ask if she had talked to a doctor. They gave me the round about because the appointment was for Marvin not me (duh) so I had a mini meltdown and left and drove home and went to bed.
Later on I had a message from Lizzie that Marv had called her to say he wouldn't be ready till about 8AM. So I went to sleep and didn't get up till 6AM, I went to pick him up, then to dialysis and I went back home to bed.
So today is Sunday and he's feeling OK, I'm feeling a little better, we had grilled steaks with aioli. And tomorrow back to Kaiser for a cardio test.
And then,there's the computer. It comes and goes, right now is the longest it has been working. I have to buy new one, and a new keyboard. My PSP is not working, my mail server is not working etc etc. Just thinking of having to transfer stuff, losing lots of things, and starting over makes me nauseous!
In the plus side, I saw a movie that made me laugh. The Wedding Ringer.
Here's hoping for a better May :)
