4 month mark

It has been 4 months since I first checked in to the hospital.  Let's celebrate the medical accomplishments:
I am in remission
My brother donated, and I received stem cells
All organs functioning normally

Last night was rough sleeping. Today I can't get comfortable in clinic, so no great nap here. I am feeling worn down.

I was wrong about my numbers. Today I am rock bottom at ANC 0.0 and a white blood cell count of <.1 (negative! I didn't even know that was possible!)

Today I needed 1500ml of fluids, whole blood, plateletes, and magnesium. What a long day. They hung  magnesium, plateletes, and blood separately to see if I react to one. These could be my sister's plateletes.  Literally!


So, I was feeling kind of pitiful, and swishing my salt water. The one minute timer sent me a gift.


Can you see the sand piled up in a heart shape?? Cool.

Our alter egos made dinner at the villa. Tomorrow they head for the Amalfi coast.  My favorite part!


And finally, after a harrowing ATL friday Rush hour commute, I spiked 101.5, so it's off to the hospital. As my Mom says: they will make it better.
