They released me today.

The cause of most of the problems were related to medicine dosage. They had tried to cut back on one medication during the latest round of Chemo. It was the major cause of Blood pressure dropping to approx 70 /50 (very low). Along with the potassium level dropping to 2.6, and the blood sugar levels reaching into the mid 300’s, I was pretty loopy. While I was in there they decided to do doplers on the legs to check for blood clots, along with some other test. They took 10 vials of blood the 1st 2 days. Blood clots are quite common for this type of cancer (GBM) They found one in the right leg. There was a good chance that it could have moved with the lymphedema therapy they do on me. So maybe being loopy turned out to be a good thing. They installed a filter to prevent the clot from moving to a vital organ and it covers both legs. Feel pretty weak, but it also feels good to be at home. Hope to play poker tonight. Again thanks for all the well wishes and prayers, as they help. By Tuesday morning I was ready to start digging the hole. The oncology doctor that afternoon said you will be ok in 12 hours, but we need to get you into the hospital. He was pretty much right. By Wed. morning the crazy feelings had pretty much gone away and by the afternoon I had a desire to eat and drink which I had not had the past 60 hours. You know your feeling better when hospital food taste ok.

Thanks again for the support
