Weekend Off

Whew. Got great news today. I have the weekend off. Saturday and Sunday. Back at 0815 Monday. My last day off was before the transplant. Of course I go the the hospital for all the normal reasons: fever of 100.5, chills, rigors, uncontrolled bleeding, etc.

I don't ask a lot of questions like "why?" So I guess my numbers just look good enough. I am amazed. And happy. Let's see if some good sleep comes since I don't have to be up at the crack of dawn.

Buffy and I had a great drive in to clinic. Coming home took much longer. Urgh. Oh well, we will get there when we get there. Fridays are always difficult.  Thank you, Buffy, for the ride. I will miss you next week!

The numbers: white 5.9, red 3.44, Hgb 9.9, plateletes 94, ANC 3.80. They are stabilizing. I did ask the doc point blank if he's happy with the numbers and he said yes.

The day is not over, but I have not thrown up and I feel pretty good.  I got pre meds for magnesium and a Benadryl nap at clinic. Then about an hour and a half nap at home, so my energy is up a little. 

The weather has turned cold. The dogs love it, we humans do not.  

I guess Fall is over. Good thing. We only had 3 pumpkin cookies left.  Thanks, Linda!!

But I promise not to do any Christmas decorating until AFTER Thanksgiving.

Lastly, I hate missing a Special event. Happy Birthday, Kim! Thanks for sharing your cookie cake!
