I am not sure if the ascites build up is increasing or not, but there is a bit more discomfort within my abdomen. Mel thinks that it may be due to my muscles just getting use to things. It does feel that it does feel like muscle over anything else. It feels like tightness in…
My sleep has not been great lately as I get up in the middle of the night. It seems that my body decides at that time that a bowel movement is urgent and it wakes me up. I could go back to sleep but I take it as an opportunity to eat. This may also…
Things were starting to get planned and then all of a sudden everything changes. As they were scheduling more and more appointments for me I contacted the research coordinator and asked if I should book the hotel for next week. He told me not to book anything until one of the doctors called me. A…
