On Wednesday, I had a full skeletal survey done. It’s different than the first one I had about a year ago. At UNC they don’t do the ribs, but they do all the leg & arm bones, including wrists (but not hands & feet). It’s my understanding that myeloma likes to affect the ribs though, so I don’t understand excluding them. Anyway, the imaging showed no lesions again. My labs were fine too (except for the MM).

On Wednesday, I’ll have Zometa, and it’ll be my 12th time. It’s amazing how quickly time passes.

I had some x-rays today to rule out a sinus infection. About 2 weeks ago I had 5 days of Levaquin, and thought I was getting better. I still had headaches though, and really sore teeth on my left side (uppers). I learned that this can be the result of a sinus infection. I also have congestion, although that seems much better today. I have some pretty yucky post nasal goo draining down my throat when I get up in the morning.

Wednesday I’ll have another skeletal survey. It’s been almost a year since I had one. Dr. O. said he likes to do them every 6 months, but I have to remind him, I’ve discovered.
