well people -- highly elevated numbers on the metabolic panel but because the 1 st method used to see liver was done by either a MRI or cat scan -- the method used today was a ultra sound and they can't compare the two ????? I was wondering who's head wasn't with them the day they ordered the test. they can only go by the 3's on the panel which are out of sight -- so more blood draw today , 5 sticks before they got there 8 vials ??? mr pin cushion. I asked them to contact Dc. Megan as I have a appointment with here tomorrow and we will be discussing the very meds that Dc, Kim thinks may be responsible for dark stinging urine and the constipation- I have been dealing with for 2.5 months now . stool softeners with my coffee every morning -- A S___ deal :-(--I want what ever tests they did 7 months ago done again so the comparison can be made to see if more fat- less fat or preferably no fat .she gave me my orders and I told her { KIM} at gastro -I will do what she want's BUT she is going to have to contact { MEG } down her today and get a plan - so I basically know no more than I did when I went up there today !!! accept that my #'s are highly elevated and they think it's the butrans or the tizanidine or a combination of both. how this testing was allowed to go on is mind boggling to me. just got my INR and it is in range - whoopie - they think that's it - well i'm testing every seven day's now and it will bite them in the butt , like last week I went from a 2.7 to a 9.2 in 3 day's and had to use 2.5 vitamin K to get me down to a 3.5 -- they just don't get the fact they are flirting with my eye sight and the lesions in my brain of which I have 13. I told them they are being watched by aps of America -they have said that my Dc's are asking for trouble and it will be me who pay's the price. I guess for now I have to concentrate on the liver problem and hope my blood stay's ok till i can deal with the INR issue. not sleeping again ,pretty draw out. need a cocktail but can't so you gal's have on for me. let you guy's know tomorrow what happens .got to call nurse Shannon back in regards to what went on in Leb today and what changes may happen with my meds. lost nurse Kelly last week ,she has been with me from the very start thru -up's -down's good and bad - she was the only one who really understood the concept of the APS and my erratic inr;s . Shannon iss nice don't get me wrong but she doesn't have the clout that Kelly had -so I may not be there much longer -- this is scary to have to start all over but I see no other solution- well enough babbling - will get back tomorrow with what ever they decide to do with me - I could be in the s --- with out them being able to compare images of the liver and if they don't use same images that they used 7 months ago I will have to dwell on this till November of which I am not happy about at all - I still have

so many problems that I need to deal with like a place to live GREEEEEEER--- still confused - 167.4 pounds -- shakey -tired more confused BUT still all excited to hear from you guy's ----jet
