FRIDAY - It was so uneventful that for the first time ever, none of my oncologists came to see me. Well, there's more to the story but it's fine. They would not have needed to do anything or change anything.
I am still cruising along on the antibiotics; and my mouth, while still quite ugly, is getting much better. But my legs are all kind of broken out with the red spots like measles which is related to the mouth sores and little bruises ---- no worries. They will go away.
I may venture to some soft food tonight for dinner from our friend, Susan. Dawn brought a 450 cal soup and a 270 cal green smoothie for lunch. Yum....need those cals.
Nancy, the hospital nutritionist always stops to see me to talk about hospital food and pick my brain about improvements; but she knows that for the most part, I only eat breakfast here. She's tryin'.
All day my temps have been in the 97's. Hooray for that. My platelets dropped from 75 to 53....but as some of you guys know, they don't last long and get used up. So hoping my bone marrow kicks in soon and starts making some of those bad boys.
White blood cells are really what I need now if I ever want to get out of here. They are still .2 ...which is bad. So, I'm looking forward to what it looks like in the morning. It would be nice to not spend another holiday here.
Otherwise, that's the report for tonight. My mother in law's caregiver is on vacation for 3 days so Dawn will spend most of the weekend with mom. It's good that we are close by and can help.
Be safe, happy and have a festive holiday,
Bob
