Day 43 - Blood Values - October 26 2011
Dr. Myint had been called out of town, so Jani and I saw nurse practitioner, Diana V. My blood values are improving. My white count is up to 3.6 and so is my hemoglobin to 11.8 (still a tad anemic, but close to normal at 12.1). My platelets are normal at 161 (norms 150-400).
My Free Light Chains remain unchanged - which I think is good.
I also had my Trifusion Hickman Catheter dressing changed and nurse Cara said it really looks good. I still flush all 3 pigtails with heparin each day at home.
Day 43 - Trip to University of Colorado Hospital for Appointment - October 26 2011
Jani dug my car out of the snow and we left for the University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora, Colorado at 12:30 PM.

We still didn't have any electricity at the house when we left for UCH. Our neighborhood looks like a bomb went off with many branches down on trees due to the heavy wet snow. The highways were clear of snow and we didn't have any trouble with the trip.
This is a house down the block where the tree branches fell on to the house!
A house exists under these broken willow trees (below).
Day 43 - SNOW SNOW and NO ELECTRICITY October 26 2011
Our power went off about 2 AM this morning and we woke to 11 inches of heavy, wet, new snow. The trees were drooping due to the weight of the snow. Jani and Robbyn went out in the darkness of the morning with poles to knock snow off their many trees.
We were more fortunate than most our neighbors because Jani and Robbyn have a gas fireplace and a gas cook top. So, we had heat and a method for making our coffee, tea, and scrambled eggs!!
