We are starting the Dex again

Imagine that, two blogs that close together, don't get use to it, I know I won't keep it up. as I said before, I went to Dr. Te's office last Friday, he gave me a prescription for Dexamethezone again, a weekly dose just like I did 4 years ago, I went to my old blogs to try to get some idea what had worked for me then. they were kind of funny, if I took them too early I was up at 4:00 am blogging. Anyway, I took the first dose last night and it was late enough that I slept pretty much all night. This morning when I work up I remembered the "side effects", I was jacked up and shaking for most of the morning, it wasn't too fun, but did subside a little after lunch and I was able to stay a work longer than I thought I would this morning. Unfortunately I did have to leave early because I got a call from Dr. Te's office telling me that I had to go back to Quest to get some more blood taken for a CBC because the one they took yesterday evedently wasn't taken care of and my blood "clotted" so they couldn't complete the test. The lady took two vials this afternoon, hopefully one of them will work for the test to see how my blood is doing to find out whether I have to get a transfusion this week. I am planning on starting my 2nd round of Pomalyst tonight unless I hear from Dr. Te in the next hour or so. Patty continues to be struggling a little. we are working on that and hope that she makes some improvements this week, Amelia is helping her a lot. Until next time. Happy belated Easter to everyone.
