Day 7 IPOP

Counts today are lower than yesterday but no need for transfusion yet. We are curious to see if they will go any lower tomorrow or will start to rebound. I had my dressing changed to the fancy Obsetra 3000 model that you don't have to change for 7 days and had the upper stitches removed from entry of the catheter. The stitches close to where the line is are supposed to come out 30 days after, so we have some time on that. The AST and ALT counts always come back elevated and nurses are always alarmed about my liver function but I always reassure them that my ALT and AST have been always elevated with Myositis. They are reading up about Myositis more now and learning why I want my CPK drawn.

Cravings have started for red meat!
