well, went in for blood work on Tuesday. got in and out super fast as i didn't sit around and wait for results. they'll call if there's anything i need to know! so that was that. and then the nurse called to let me know that my white blood counts were low...so the doctor lady put me on a "just to be on the safe side" antibiotic. i was also told to eat yogurt for the good stuff that lives in it and to prevent..ah...unpleasant side effects from the antibiotic, sanitize/wash hands a lot, and stay away from crowds. yay! my Love (and others) will hardly let me out of the house!
so of course on Tuesday night i start getting sick! sore throat, fever, and just generally feeling yucky. i went to bed and woke up about an hour later burning up...got up and headed to the living room. spent the next 3 hours hangin' out, watching tv, and monitoring my temp. i have guidelines as to when to call the doctor and my temp hovered just under those lines. boy was i glad! i finally got sleepy again and went on to bed. the morning was a bit rough, too and my Love was worried and stayed home from work but the fever finally broke and things got much better very quickly. and i sent my Love on to work! yay!
not much else going on around here...
umm...i'm really stupid. but that's not really "new". just intensified, i guess. but for now i can blame it on "chemo brain" and get away with it! teehee!
seriously, that's it. we're just settling into the 2 week routine of treatment, day after shot, off week blood work, and treatment again!
Although I am one of those people who wants you to be cautious, if you need for me to spring you out of there, let me know. Love you dearly and I think we need our toes done in houndstooth. My treat.
