Last night as Bev was driving me home I got sick. All I had the energy for was to go to bed. During my nap, I spiked a fever. When I woke and checked it was 102 so I grabbed my phone. And had trouble calling. So when I got the landline and got the physician on call back on the line it was 101.7. Trending down I was told to go to the hospital and we will test for infection.
So we drove to the hospital and I was admitted. A few more sick sessions, and thy gave me injectable Ativan that settled me, and made me sleep. I still got my two radiation therapies today and more Ativan, which made me sleep all day. The doctor said I might get released tomorrow. Then it's another outpatient total body irradiation and check back in on Friday for transplant.
I was able to eat oatmeal and my whole lunch. Dinner is still sitting there: just soup and a sandwich.
I had visitors. Tony was the designated driver in the morning rain. Janna was trying to donate, but joined the rank of unable due to low iron. So Shannon gave an extra bag and Glenda her faithful one. Thanks for donating!
This was me most of the day.
This was where I had planned to be.
Kent and I headed to Rome, Italy for a 2 week vacation through Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast with 4 other couples. Luckily Kay made "flat Stanleys" so we won't miss a thing. Thanks, you guys! I can't wait to see the updates! Have extra fun for us!
I am getting the greatest care possible, so don't worry about me!
