Clinic update

Today, I paid a visit to my friendly neighborhood cancer institute and here are the results.

Blood work was normal. The burn on my arm seems to be healing properly. There is no puss discharge or discoloration. I needed an impromptu EKG due to the fainting, which resulted in the burn on my arm. I was forced into receiving the flu shot. The flu shot will probably not aid in my recovery from the current sore throat, cough, and stuffy nose, I currently have.

There are minor changes to my daily medications. Cellcept was reduced from 1000MG twice daily to 500MG thrice daily. I need to add Claritin D, a Flonase and saline nasal sprays.

Later this week, I will revisit the Brigham & Women’s for a left leg MRI and knee replacement consultation. A couple different variables will play into this possible surgery including my high risk of infection due to medication, the recovery timetable, medical insurance, and timing with Gabe’s schedule and school vacations.

I’m struggling with a few mental/psychology roadblocks and social issues, but there is nothing I can’t work though. It is hard being in a packed room and feeling like you’re standing alone, but is my problem to deal with.

That is all for now.

Cheers.
