Caught Up

I had two sips of wine last night. It's the thought that counts! My doc said I could have a glass a week. Turns out I still don't have a taste for it. Guess that means I am still not healthy. I will listen to my body.

I got by with only one nap today.  I'm caught up on sleep, but boredom hasn't set in yet. I did get a few chores done.

I am not allowed to do any "dirty" cleaning since I am close to neutropenic low.  I have little white blood cells to fight off infection. Very soon they will be at zero. So I have to be extra careful not to be in contact with dirt or mold.

Tomorrow I start popping pills. One antibiotic, one anti fungal, and one other I forgot. They are all prepping me for the low. I have been meticulous in giving dogs medicines in the past, so I think I can remember to give myself pills. I have then set out in plain sight just in case.

I did move clean laundry to the dryer and then fold and put away. It seems like a normal day.  But what about tomorrow?

Tomorrow is a clinic appointment.  We will pull blood and get ready for a spinal tap on Tuesday.  Ugh. Would rather have a bone marrow biopsy.  No... Wait... Hate those too.

It's all necessary, I know. But I feel like whining about the process.

I have great support, though. My squeaky clean dogs are always close and keeping me company, and neighbors are checking in on me. FaceTime and Skype are lovely tools to connect too. 

So far, so good. I am thrilled I have nothing more to write about. Boring days are good days. Keep your paws crossed for no infections!
