Bad Patient

As you may know, I have had trouble sleeping. I have been getting cat naps as much as I can. Through the night, I get 1.5-2 hours sleep. When I wake up, I go back to sleep. My nurse says I need deep REM to heal. I try not to take drugs, but they put me on a sleeping pill. I am worried what it will do to me. So if you see the house on fire, you might have to carry me out like a fireman. No, wait. Dexter will save me.

Numbers for today: ANC .51, white 1.2, red 3.77, plateletes 65. (Did I tell you Darlene's was 310? I got a long long way to go).

Nothing but blood draw and fluids today. I will have artichokes for dinner because of their high magnesium.  Avacados are another good source. Yum. See? Things are starting to sound good. Phew!

Some days I was tempted to do this to myself. Dave got back from Italy and is sick. Sad.

I ate 3 meals today. Things are looking up!
