Had my final tests
What a day. It started with getting my teeth cleaned.
Then I saw my neurologist, who is referring me to a pain specialist. I don't have time for this right now.
Then I had my hepatitis screen and ABGs drawn. My pO2 was 68. Crap. Everything else was WNL, though, so it shouldn't be a problem.
I'm on day 4 of my first Z-pak and I feel like death warmed over. I have a headache, I'm
and have diarrhea. I've been eating yogurt, trying to ward of any nasty beasties. I don't think I can do another round of these. The sinus infection was easier to live with.
I'm normally a fairly private person, but today I told everyone I saw about my upcoming surgery. I'm doing my part to educate people on the DS.
Only one person, the lab nurse, had heard of it.
Today is the 21st and my surgery is 21 days away. Three weeks!!!
