Back to Stanford on Wednesday

The hepatologist's office called today and we are seeing the doc at 11AM on Wednesday. Frankly, this spooked Mary a bit. The only other time they have called us in for a next day appointment was when they confirmed cholangiocarcinoma after the gall bladder surgery.

I told her it was more likely that the surgeon put a priority on it and now that all the test results including Monday's blood work was done, she simply wanted to see Mary right away. I feel this is better than waiting a few more days. We really need to understand what is happening to make Mary bloat and retain fluids.

Mary is on two diuretics prescribed last Friday, her bp medication and her glaucoma drops. Oh, and protonix for stomach acid prevention--by now, she may be able to terminate that as well. She is off of everything else that has been prescribed since this all began. That is good news.

Mary did make the trip downtown, had her hair done and made it back without a problem. Well, except she left a shirt jacket at the salon. We will pick it up in the AM.
