At the follow-up examination, Ralph was informed that his white blood count had dropped and the others were rising, as expected. He can go to a restaurant with a mask, but if seated in a booth, he can remove the mask. All food must be well cooked....I doubt that he does this.
The doctor wants him to wait another 3 to 4 weeks to give the stem cells a chance to graph before addressing any should discomfort issues. After the ride to Pittsburgh and sitting in the waiting and examination rooms, he needed pain medication for his back. He sees a neurologist on July 17th about that. He will receive a bone strengthening treatment in 2 weeks, at UPMC in Meadowlands, and have the myeloma parameters determined. He goes back to Hillman on July 23rd.
Ralph has been enjoying our healing garden on sunny days. He has been putting alone and with friends on his green.
