The Doctors Visit that Became a Hospital Stay
I'm so happy to be home. I went for a follow up visit Monday and the doctor suggested i stay overnight in the hospital. I had a CT scan done to rule out that the embolization had caused abscesses in the liver. It had not and it did show that the tumors are dying as we had hoped. Also while in the hospital I was given fluids, I.V. antibiotics and two pints of blood. Evidently I was severely anemic. All the blood cultures they took are still negative so hopefully I'll start feeling better soon. The other good news is that my liver function tests are much better since the embolization. This little procedure is much harder to recover from than I had expected. Lets pray that it is worth the trouble.
