Doctor's Appointment Wednesday February 10

Kept my monthly appointment with the kidney specialist on Wednesday.

He said that I looked good for having had open heart surgery two weeks prior (on January 26).

Hemoglobin numbers are still low, so my procrit dosage was increased, and an iron infusion has been scheduled.

Protein number is low, so increased protein intake has been prescribed.

Coumadin (polite word for rat poison, Warfarin) is being adjusted for increase INR to prevent clotting around my new pig valve.

Most of the other numbers are looking good.

Still sore, and get tired easily. I sleep a lot too.

Anemia explains the lack of energy.
