Rough Week

Hi Everyone!!!!
I'm sorry for taking so long to post another blog, but it has been a really tough week for me. I was feeling pretty sick and miserable until today. I'm starting to feel better today and I'm regaining my appetite slowly. Our AC decided to finally shut down on Friday night, so I spent the past several days camped out on the couch in the basement. We have a new AC unit now and it is much more comfortable in the rest of the house.
I will go in on Tuesday the 14th for my next set of CT scans, and then I will have my consult with the liver surgeon on Wednesday the 15th. And then I guess the next course of action will be decided...
I spent the day at my parents house enjoying their AC while mine was being fixed, but it was the first time I had ventured out of the house since Thursday...Wow is it hot and oppressive out there. I definitely have absolutely no tolerance for the heat!!!!
Take care!
Love,
Erica
