Hi, I'm in hospital (bored,bored,bored) for my copper infusions.
My blood tests yesterday had all dropped (but still very good in the scheme of things). Hb 100, WCC 3.0 (no neut count given), platelets 130. So it looks like I will be given copper infusions every sixth week (5 weeks between). That's so much better than the two weeks in between that I had been getting.
I'm grateful that I feel we'll enough to be bored.
I asked my Physician if he would write a letter to the bariatric surgeon recommending weight loss surgery. First off he said no! Then he said wait and see if my health stabilises. Then he said...."I'll think about it".
After he left I asked the nurse if she thought he'd agree. She said that it was all doctor talk for NO.
I've just been interrupted by a nurse with a stat dose of Hydrocortisone. The doctor saw my copper rash and was very impressed at how gross it looked
. Luckily enough it looks worse than it feels this time.
