Doctor Day Tomorrow--Sandi Update

Tomorrow morning we will be back at the cancer doctor's office down at Medical City Dallas for Sandi to have, at the bare minimum, some blood work done. She is not feeling at all well and seems to have really faded the last couple of days. While the leg and hi pain seems to have subsided some, she is now having shortness of breath when she moves around very much or climbs the stairs inside our apartment to go to bed. While this could be a side effect of her new antibiotic, and this is a side effect they warn about, it also could be a sign that her blood counts have dropped some more and she now needs a blood transfusion.

I'm hoping this is the antibiotic doing its thing and not blood count related. Since it started the next day after she started her antibiotic last week and she has never had this problem before---even where her blood counts were so low she was critical and needed a transfusion--- it seems very possible that this is antibiotic related.  If it is I don't know if this means she will have to again switch drugs or they will just try to manage it in some way.

Of coursee, she may need a transfusion anyway even if the antibiotic is causing this. We just won't know until the results start coming back late morning. If she does need one, we won't be back here until sometime late tomorrow evening because transfusions take forever when done on the outpatient basis. It could easily be a brutally long day for the both of us.

In the meantime Sandi is doing a Christmas In July sale for many of her craft items. Please take a look and tell your firends about her and her crafts. Her store is still at http://www.sanditipple.ioffer.com/ Details at http://lady-sandra.blogspot.com/
