Graham's headaches and nausea had been coming back, so another ABG (arterial blood gas) was ordered. Back in the fall when he was having so many problems, his CO2 measured around 50...this time, at 70. Poisoning levels (there's a word for that) begin at 75, so he is obviously beginning the effects of CO2 poisoning. Headaches, nausea, heart aches...and faded memory. Graham's favorite thing about himself is his mind (memory, wits, and smarts); he's struggling with not being able to be on his toes at all times.
There is not much they can do at this place and Graham is staying on his Trilogy most of the time. Hoping this helps shave down that CO2 number.
