MY PAIN IS YOUR GAIN

I'm a single father of two beautiful chidren and I live in Novato, CA. I am also the embodiment of several neurotic tendencies. But you will find that out soon enough.

I'll be writing honest blog entries about my trials and successes as a single father. Tune in to hear about my foibles and learn about all the mistakes you shouldn't make. I take the hit, you gain the knowledge.

In A Holding Pattern

There was a strange development yesterday. I had gone into the hospital for my treatment and had just finished the two hours of hydration (two hours of filling me up with fluids before the interferon), when the nurse came back to me and said there would be no treatment today.

It turns out that my blood tests came back and showed triple the normal levels of enzymes in my liver. Heck, I have no idea what liver enzymes are, but apparently they are high enough to call off my interferon treatment until Wednesday. No one can say why my enzymes suddenly peaked compared to last week’s normal reading, I suspect it has to do with the drugs I was taking for my tongue fungus. Oh joy!

So I’ve stopped the tongue drugs and am now waiting until Wednesday to see if my enzyme levels return to normal.
