Dawn the anemia comes with the loss of kidney funtion,,I not only get those shots and YES we do need them and they cost a bundle, but they help build red blood cells..I get them every two week, plus I now have to get either an injection or an IV of iron cuz those pills just don't get it..Friday was not a good day all around. Jim went to the surgeon, expecting to get his stitches out. Not until next week, but "things look great." What!?! He can't straighten his arm all the way, and then we find out he is anemic!! So, he takes iron pills, dr. prescribed vitamins, and is to get a shot once a week to build up his bone marrow. But wait!! The insurance company needs to decide if the shot is neccesary!?! So now I have to call the phamacy to see if he can get the meds so he can get the shots, call the drs. office to see if the nurse will be there at 4:40 when he gets out of work ( he went back today), and then call him and let him know. Oh, then of course there is the fact of the headaches he has had since the surgery, he now has to take tylenol w/codiene. Of course, he feels great then!! I just don't dare let him out of my sight then. AARRGGHHHH!!!! Please keep your prayers coming.
The payers and good thoughts continue..Just stay well and know we all are thinking of you all.Thank you everyone. Jim is feeling soo much better now, it's so nice to see him come home from work and actually want to do something other than sit and fall asleep!! Thank you again for all your prayers, please keep them coming as we wait for the evaluation and testings to begin!! Dawn :>)
