Happy Labor Day. We had a nice day in spite of the cooler weather here. A friend from Sacramento came for a visit. We gave a short walking tour of our South Lake Union neighborhood. Given that tour, and my walk to the clinic this morning, along with our usual walk I think I had a record number of steps today 12,000 over 5-miles. That is good for my walking scorecard.

For my lab testing today also a good test day. Hb/Hct: 10.4/31 ( a bit lower = anemia), platelets: 136,000, WBC: 2.77, ANC:1,300 (much improved). My liver functions are normal, however my kidneys are still being squeezed with increasing BUN: 25 and Creatinine: 1.84. Not sure exactly why these numbers are rising, although my feeling is this is medication related. My team is concerned, of course, so tomorrow bright and early at 7am I will go to the clinic for IV hydration. Hoping that will help.

Otherwise we continue on our track for return home.
