Better

Today is better. My numbers are still falling, but I feel better. My nurse said it is not a forgone conclusion that I will end up in the hospital during my low. The most common reasons for admission are fever, mouth sores, diarrhea, and nausea. If anything is going to get me, it's the fever. I know if I spike a fever again, it will be gone by the time I make the hour drive to check in. Little bit frustrating.

Today Melissa got to do a little shopping while I was getting infused. Then she brought me ice cream. Yum. Then sat. Boring.

Even though I feel better, I don't have the energy to do much. Talking is a task. Texting is a task. Surfing is a task. Writing, reading, watching to TV, listening to music all weigh heavy. So I try to nap and stare at the walls. I am good with that. And this, too, shall pass.

I told you there was some new fuzz on my head. The longer strands are the original hair that never left. Weird. So far I have not been completely bald.

I got a full bag of magnesium today, infused over 4 hours to prevent a reaction. I still had a reaction, and had to get Benadryl.  It is probably the sulfur causing the problem.

Must be feeling fine. Thanks, Aunt Pat!

The latest photos are in. Our friends vacationing in Italy and carrying us every step of the way. We should have been there, but can't. I really appreciate being a part of this marvelous vacation.

I even got a new purse!  (You guys crack me up!)

And happy day 4 to me!
