New Developments

This past Wednesday I went in for a CT scan ordered by my rheumatologist because a chest x-ray from a couple of weeks ago showed a "nodule on the right lobe of my lungs". I didn't have an opportunity to ask for any more information than that so I am not sure how serious it was. Just waiting to hear the results now.

Update: Dr.'s office called yesterday. All clear on the CT scan. Great news.

Today I had what is to be the first of three iron infusions. The entire procedure took about three hours and was given through my picc line. After I was finished my Dr. showed up and showed me just how badly I needed this. He pointed out that normal iron levels are between 30 and 300. Mine was 4. Infusion number 2 will be in two weeks after which, he explained, I would start feeling much better which I take to mean more energy. In fact, I already feel a small difference in my energy level after today's infusion.

Two weeks tomorrow is our Walk/Run for Scleroderma. Time to start praying for good weather.
