I had a ct scan today. Oh, the joy!
I’ve been gaining weight: am now heavier than I’ve ever been. But I ignore that.
I went today and wasn’t worried. Figured everything would be status quo. Then I saw my blood work. Now I have a niggling worry… Blood counts are low for the first time in over a year. So is calcium, potassium, sodium, etc. But the RBC and WBC is what concerns me. They aren’t too bad, but why now?
Hopefully it’s just a bad day.
Oh, and she couldn’t get a blood draw from my port. I had 5 or 6 saline and 1 heparin added trying to get some draw, but we finally had to resort to the special sauce (whatever that is) and she STILL had trouble! I walked, I jumped around, I did deep breaths: nothing helped!
Anyone else have this problem? I’ve been doing this for 4 years and this is a first for me.
