June 9: Health

I wish I had the energy to write here more often, but today at my oncologist appointment, I found out ONE of the causes for my fatigue and other symptoms: severe iron deficiency.

For most people, it wouldn't be a big deal but combine that with very low platelets and white blood cell count, other disturbing symptoms PLUS a surgical procedure next week.

I won't bore you with details, but the next couple of weeks are filled with special RXs, infusions, more blood draws, etc.

My broken rib is really inconvenient and makes sleeping difficult. I can't stay on only one side for an entire night, but my back and right side are not options. The cough makes it worse. Still can't put Weslee's new bed together. Maybe I will be healed enough next week.

As far as Weslee goes, he discovered several loose pills on the floor and in his bed linen. They must have missed his mouth. Unfortunately, they were seizure meds. Might explain why he has been so up and down lately.

Yesterday was rough as was the day before. Not sure exactly what the trigger was but I don't tolerate from anyone being yelled at with multiple "F*** OFF"s and doors slamming.

Then came the clusters of seizures. 

NOT fun.

Well... need to put his meds for the week into his pill case.  Almost time for his evening meds.

........

Weslee needs more brain surgeries for his seizures.  To help, please like, follow and share .. PLUS .. please go to his Medical GoFundMe or to our Paypal ... Thank you.
