7.30 p.m.

Thanks for checking in.

Irene called me this afternoon because dialysis was cut short again. The technical team would not let Irene drive herself home because of underlying symptoms being aggravated so I picked her up (fortunate to be working out of the home office today) and took her to the Urgent Care unit @ Dominican Hospital per the dialysis team’s instructions.

After 7 days of a 24/7 horrific headache, even increased nausea symptoms, back and leg pain, Irene was diagnosed with an infection that is now being treated with antibiotics. IT will hopefully clear in the next 7-10 days.

She had a C scan today (because of the onset of the headache) just to make sure the brain function is normal and that something else wasn’t going on. The report said that her brain function is normal but Irene wants it redone because she doesn’t believe it!

Another day on the surreal journey.

Thanks for caring,
Dave
