I dropped by my GP's office right after I'd had my blood sucked again and received the news that the ultrasound showed normalcy in and around liver and spleen. No blockages. Today's blood tests are to see how my liver is functioning.
I am still yellow, but looking better according to the pharmacy staff. Yep. I am on Atarax now to help calm the itching. A good thing, since last night was another all itch, all night night for me.
I did mention that warmth activates the itch demon, right? Well, this weekend the weather regressed to winter, complete with snow. The heating system appears not to have been made any healthier (yet?) and provided lots more heat than I found comfortable.
At the moment, it is 65 F here in my little home office and the rads are almost cold. I attribute this to two things: the latency the system has in responding to changed external temperatures (far more than normal I believe) and the current location of the thermostat - inside a middle floor apartment. DOH!
I managed to catch a few hours sleep after the sun came up. My day really didn't start until about noon. I did take advantage of the sunny atmospheric conditions and walked about the downtown area after my visits to the medical folks. It was cool enough that my winter jacket turned out to be a good idea, but nice and bright and hopefully bilirubin destroying.
Tonight I will sleep.
