Thursday, August 06: Jeri had an appointment with the doctors at Out Patient Clinic this afternoon; we were with Dr. Casey Owens who made Jeri's day when he told her she didn't have to follow the renal diet, he said she could eat what she wanted and drink water when she wanted. So when we got home she started eating and drinking and it did make her feel better. While we were there they did a prick to get a drop of blood to test her INR and it showed up as 3.9, which wasn't good for Jeri so they did a blood draw and it showed at 2.6, which just the way she likes it. We moseyed back home on the back road because Jeri doesn't like the freeways, and her life was better after she had something to eat.

Friday, August 07: this morning we got a prescription from someones PA giving Jeri a new med so I went to Smiths and got it and come home at saw that it said to take 10 pills at one time for four days and of course there was 40 pills in the bottle. I called the PA and he said it was right and that she needed 40mgs and they don't make that large of a dose so she has to take 10 4mgs for four days. A short time after she had the pills she started feeling better; they are a steroid of some kind and part of her therapy, and they seem to be working.

Saturday, August 08: The same regimen today as yesterday and she is still feeling better, however, she does get tired easy and has to rest a few time during the day. I hope the trend continues. The temperatures have lowered considerable today the high temps were in the low 70s, which is just the way I like it.
