You got anything for incontinence? I had it about whipped doing Kegel exercises, them got a urinary tract infection, and it hasn't been worth a damn since!

That may require a rectal exam from not a Dr dumberg. I’m sure he’d thoroughly enjoy that as democrats always love a good probe.

In all of this, incontinence has never been a problem. Other than 4 days with a catheter after the initial biopsy swelled the prostate, never had any voiding issues, either.
Grace of God.

Hanan... a little too far for me to run to the market for you.
And now, you are on the other side of the world?
That must have been a big change for you. At least you moved away from the hurricanes.

Went through one from the basement of the "new" Charleston Naval Hospital.
Our car was the only one that drove out of the parking lot that day.
Scary.
73 or 74.

Normal 90 day blood draw yesterday. Been dizzy, ultra-tired for about a month.
RBC WAY off the bottom of "normal", same with WBC and Hemaglobin, and those have always been good.

Messaged care team, asked about B-9, iron supplements.

This morning my flip phone is going crazy.

Confirming blood draw after lunch today, maybe transfusion an hour later, if not, Monday morning.

Never had one of these before. I know where it goes in, where do they take it out?

Ha!

Dave, wish you all the best at this time in your life.

Best to you Dave. Hoping your heart and mind are at peace through all of this. Run some trains if you can!

Good question. Iron deficiency is a well-known cause of anemia. However, it is an under-recognized cause of venous clots.

May you and your wife recover quickly.

Two transfusions, levels still low, yesterday surgery, installed a pincushion port.
Hurts. Still.
Wednesday another blood test, transfusion status unknown.
Friday, first chemo infusion.
Won't be long now.

Confirmed arrangements to have all the 3-rail hauled out (100 GarGraves switches, 70 under layout switch machines, over 500 feet of GarGraves track), plus vintage restored H0, and hundreds of reference books.
Last will be probably 60 restored SC freights, pre-war SC passenger cars, hundreds of feet of TruScale through a shredder.
Shame.

Heart and spirit fine. Pass from death unto life.

Thank you, Dave, for keeping us informed.
I am sad. I was hoping for recovery news.
It is good that your heart and spirit are fine.

Hate to hear of the empire being dismantled. Keep your strength up as best ya can and do what they tell ya. Maybe a break comes your way and things start to rapidly turn around. One never knows...

From one old fart to another, Hang in there Dave, we're all pulling for you!

4-1/2 hours in hospital today. Blood work, determine necessity of transfusion.
Good. No transfusion.
Almost two hours of "hydration".

WBC centered in middle of normal, as are platelets.

Food, then nap!

Good news! Keep it up Dave.
I am convinced our prayers helped.
