Zometa

Last night I was up all night reading Lance Armstrong's book between trips to the restroom. The trips to the restroom were separated by 20 minute intervals. Not only did I have to get out of bed, but I had to crutch over there, adding insult to injury.

I called the doctor today and it turns out that they had an infusion of Zometa to give me this week. The Zometa is supposed to help my bone come back strong as the tumor leaves. I went in to get the infusion today so they could also check me out since I wasn't feeling so hot. They did a metabolic panel, which is where they check the levels of different stuff in your blood like creatinine and protein and potassium. My potassium is up from before, but somehow still a little low. I guess I need larger pills? I got another IV set up and the Zometa dripped in for 30 minutes and then they gave me some fluids to help me recover from last night.
