Day +68

I was at City of Hope all day.  They gave me an infusion of immunoglobulen.  Low numbers in my blood counts said I needed an infusion to fight bacterial infections. I wasn't doing it on my own.

It was a really long day (7 to 5), and they also gave me the drainage procedure. YA!  You are not going to believe how much fluid they pulled out.  And they didn't take it all, because it would be too much for my system to be that full and then completely empty. They pulled out a little over four liters of fluid. That's two giant two liter soda bottles. That's ten pounds of fluid I was carrying around in front of me. That's more than a baby!

Anyway, I finally have relief. Maybe now that I'm free from the water belly, I'll be able to get around better.
