boring.

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!

  1. 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.
