I went to Heidi’s Pies this morning to have breakfast with Reggie. but after I drank my hot chocolate, I threw up all over the table and my clothes. After I recovered I drove home and went to bed. I slept for about four hours and went to PAMF for my appointment with the nephrologist. He was a nice guy and ordered a few more lab tests, but I am doubtful that he will make any improvements. He did suggest that I reduce my Labetalol from two pills a day to two half pills a day. I am now watching the hockey game between the Sharks and Buffalo. The Sharks are trailing 0-1 in the second period. I think Josh is at the game.

Yesterday Josh brought over burgers and fries and watched the hockey game with me. Ryan Clowe scored a goal in the second minute of the game, and after that it was all defense. The Sharks beat Philadelphia 1-0. It was a very fast and fun game to watch. It was good to see the Sharks get back to playing at a high level. I feel good today.

Yesterday I finished reading The Economist and started reading Science. I had to move my car out of the parking garage last night because the lateral sewer lines have to be cleaned today. I finally found a semi-legal spot to park it outside, but several cars were still in the garage yet to be moved, so I don’t know what they will do. I feel good today.

Yesterday afternoon I went to the Oscar dinner party at the Ariagnos with the Morrills. I was glad that I saw The Artist the night before since it won most of the big prizes. I have learned that Alex’s hockey game was yesterday, so I am going to try to watch it online today as a replay. I feel good today.

Yesterday I tried to watch Alex’s hockey game, but when I went to the website Ethan sent I could not get the video to play. I must have been doing something wrong. Josh came over later and brought food from Boston Market. I had the roast chicken and we watched the Sharks lose to Nashville. The Sharks got behind by two goals in the first few minutes of the game and never were able to catch up, although they came close a couple of times. They ended up losing 3-6, including a couple of empty netters at the end. In the late evening Larry and Judy called and asked if I would like to go see The Artist with them. I had seen a lot of discussion about it on Charlie Rose, but I thought it was a little boring. I liked watching the dancing at the end though. I give it three stars. I feel good today.

Yesterday after the usual Friday PBS shows, I read some more on my Kindle. I am getting near the end now and it will soon be time to download another. I feel good today., but I am concerned that my doctor says I need to consult with a nephrologistas indicated in the message below.

Dear Mr. Basler,
Your Blood count shows that the anemia is stable.
Your Basic Metabolic Panel (electrolytes, kidney test, glucose) shows decreased renal function, but not as severe as when you were hospitalized previously. I think a consult with a nephrologist would be good to make sure we have optimized your care. Please call for an appointment:
Nephrology Department

Level 2
If you have any questions, please email or call my office 650-853-2984.
Sincerely,
Sherry Huang, M.D.

I had breakfast at Heidi’s Pies with Reggie this morning. Yesterday I watched the Golden State Warriors beat Phoenix in Phoenix in NBA basketball. The Warriors were never behind until the last minute or so of the game, but they ended up winning because they made their last shot and the Suns missed theirs. I feel good today.
