... she's as wonderful as ever!
Russ drove me to Providence and accompanied me to my appointment with Dr. Jennifer Kearsley at 10am -- helped out where my "fuzzy brain" couldn't. :-]
My vitals were pretty good ... nothing too bad: blood pressure was on the low scale (97/58). Pulse was good: 72. Weight ... well, let's just say I should cut back on the bon-bons.
The profound fatigue is quite normal, as are the other symptoms of the disease I am experiencing. The game plan is to see my Liver Specialist, Dr. Benner, on November 27 and see what he says.
I gave 3 (count 'em) 3 vials of blood for the cause: cholesterol screen, liver function test, checking vitamins levels -- Doctor Jen had a list of 5-6 things she wanted to check -- some of which will save Dr. Benner some time. Anyway, the needle pinched a lot and I gotta nasty boo-boo out of it. Anyone wanna take my place next time? :-\
Anyway, just blogging ... filling out forms ... living ...
I miss everyone at NCNM!!!
** Doctor Jen is my Primary Care Provider. She is with the PACE Clinic (Providence Ambulatory Care & Education). She has been following me since my first day at the hospital, January 23, 2007. She's the best!
