Title: calling willieandwinnie
Post by: petey on January 23, 2008, 05:03:08 PM
Isn't tomorrow (Thurs.) the day Len goes back to see the dr?  Sending you and Len positive thoughts for an answer and an easy fix to his recent stomach problems.  Len will get the #2 spot in my prayers tonight (you know Marvin's in my top spot  :rofl;).  Got my fingers crossed, w&w, and I'm praying hard -- hard, I tell you.

Hi petey, I just saw this.  :o I think you and I have a lot going on in our lives right now. I had to call the rescue squad for Len again and then he had follow up with GP and then to Washington Hospital Center for transplant appointment. They did change some of his meds. They reduced valcyte to just 1 a day and reduced his one blood pressure medication. His creatinine is 0.07 and his BUN is 13. He still just doesn't feel good and naps quite often during the day. They don't seem concerned about the pain he is having in his side and said that they would look at it closer in March when he has his next transplant clinic appointment. I have not been feeling well. I'm having terrible pain in my leg and knee. Doctor said it is from back surgery in 1986 and scar tissue hitting on nerves. I need to go get a cane so I can do some walking if this weather ever warms up. I think Len and I both will feel better if we see the sunshine and warmer temps. Thanks for checking on us and I hope they can get Marvin's pace maker working correctly. Take care.

Sweet Len seems to have more than his share of things going on.  I hope you are both having a better day.  We love you both! :grouphug;
