First of all, Mandy returned on the porch at 4:00AM. The steroids have had me going and I’ve been up til 2:45AM reading. (I will not do that anymore, it is not wise.) I turned out the lights at 2:45am with a prayer similar to this: “Lord, you can do anything; You work miracles. If it [...]

It paid off relaxing and listening to my body last night. By 9:00pm I felt much better and that headache went away. I’m pretty sure it was a headache you get when your blood pressure goes up. As I say, I’ve really never had trouble with high blood pressure other than when certain medicines or [...]

I’ve had so many good days, I was bound to have a set-back.
Today I feel weak and yucky. I’ve had a headache since last night. First, I think yesterday was a bit too much for me and I may have pushed too far going to the store and such.
I don’t usually have high blood pressure. [...]

I saw Dr. Deauna today. I’m glad I stuck it out with her. I’ve gone to nearly dropping her to really liking and trusting her now. She’s very busy, but she’s still very thorough. I think one thing that cinched my liking of her was her personal phone calls to my home, telling me to [...]

Thanks so much for your kind comment and concern! The funny thing is that I have two journals, basically. This one was intended to be more factual regarding my MM, treatment, etc. I’m afraid I’ve not organized this one as yet in that regard…but I do have intentions to place some charts.
But THIS blog was [...]

Dennis, the PT, came by for his second visit with me. It went better than I expected and he added a few more good home exercises and pointers. He thought I was doing great and thought maybe we might just have a phone-exit-interview this Friday. Good.
I will see what the doctors (neurologist/neurosurgeon) recommend as far [...]

Thinking of having spent 12 days in bed in the hospital and now home my 9th day and I’m making progress, gaining strength, etc. Today I was a bit tired, but still stronger than before. I went to the store twice today. I had to return moldy bread. The loading and unloading groceries I think [...]

I drove myself to my annual female appointment today and with reasonable ease. Driving was just fine. Walking is slow, but that is my new normal. I also stopped by Walmart and Price Chopper on the way home.
All in all, I think a very accomplished day. I did much better than I even anticipated.

I’ve been out of communication for a few days, as lightning hit my phone line. Anyway, had my first official Home Health Physical Therapist visit yesterday. Dennis gave me some good exercises and will be back Monday. He’s nice, but I don’t care for his style a lot. I feel bad because he was very [...]

In response to the question regarding testing for Amyloidosis, I can only give my very uneducated and inexperienced response. Right off I would say that it is not a necessary routine test when one has Myeloma. What I have read of it, it can be a secondary complication of Myeloma. I don’t know how common [...]
