Thumbs up

Cheryl, Thanks for breaking the code for me. I'm glad something is good.

Hopeful, Thanks for that information. I will see them again on the 19th and check with them about it.

Yesterday, the day after my blood work, the Dr's office called. They said I needed to go to the hospital and get blood drawn to test my potassium level. They said it was very high when I had the draw on Monday and they need to make certain before they issue pills to lower it. Goof grief!!

Well, I feel great, except for this raging high BP 170/93 (woke me up at 6AM with pain in my finger tips). I know it is the high platelets causing the high BP. They are doing what they do to lower them. They said it is odd that after the 1st week of Hydroxurea they dropped from 1,300,000 to 800,000 and there they sit. Guess I have to wait and see what happens.

I love this forum!
