Monday Dad spent the morning at the office. He had meetings and went to lunch. The strain on his back was tiring, especially with the trips up to the 2nd floor where is office is located. Tuesday evening he had some heartburn.....something which alarmed Mom since he had a pretty mild dinner. The last time dad was complaining of heartburn he had his heart attack. Wednesday morning at 2 AM they went to the hospital since he was having some bad chest pain on his left. They gave dad 3 doses of Nitro, ran labs and everything looked good. Just to be safe they kept him until Wednesday night so that they could follow serial labs and make sure his heart looked okay. He went home Wednesday night.
Thursday he had some pain in his knee again. Dad was worried his gout was flaring up. They did give him a shot in his knee to help with the pain. Turns out it wasn't gout but bursitis- just some irritation to the joint. When I talked with Dad this morning, he was still having some pain but was otherwise okay. We should find out the results of his latest staging labs for the myeloma. They drew them this week so that we could see just how much Dad's levels improved. We are all confident and hopeful that his M spike is down! Pray!!
