Well I did the neupagen shots on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Went in for bloodwork on Monday, and the good news was that the numbers were so high that I didn't have to have a shot on Tuesday.
I finished up my last two Welchol tablets at noon on Monday, so I called my friend Nickole at Dr. B's office to see about getting a refill. I also needed to ask her about some rectal bleeding that I had been having. She thought that I needed to come to see Dr. B, so this morning John and I went to Omaha. * I have some irritation and also had a fissure (tear) which was causing the bleeding. Now the irritation and the fissure were probably caused by the diarrhea that I had been having. The diahrrhea that had been caused by either the neupagen shots or the anti-nausea tablets that I had taken - or probably a combination of both.
So the good news is that hopefully the irritation and the bleeding will take care of itself - and I also got the refill of the Welchol pills so that it can continue doing what it has been! (It especially is helpful during my chemo weeks so that I don't get constipated.)
I have an appointment with Dr. B set in February (which was set up after the post-op appointment) and we will see then if everything is all better.
* On another note - Carrie was going to work down 23rd Street when we were coming out of the McDonald's parking lot. She let us go in front of her and we got just past the stoplight on Clarkson when John's phone rang - Carrie's car had died. So we turned around and John helped her push the car into the closest parking lot. And then we took her to work. Guess that was good news too - we were just where we needed to be at the right time!! There are no coincidences.
