SATURDAY BUMMER
I am really feeling pretty decent...and got about a mile and a half in laps today. Does not sound like much but is good for Sherman hallways, I guess.
The good news is my temps are totally fine and most often in the low 96's. Am I still breathing? Yep! The discouraging news is that my numbers are still the pits with WBC at .3, PLT's at 35 and HGB at 8.6 (not a deal breaker). What we're watching now is ANC (Absolute Neutrofil Count) for those of you who care or understand. The ANC now becomes the composite get out of jail number. It's .3 and must be 1.0 to go home....absolutely. My oncologist was in and said not to worry, the numbers will be OK in a couple days. Yeah, I know. But does that make me less antsy-pantsy? Heck no. So you are just thankful to God for how good I am now and for patience. Lunch from Panera, Dawnie brought in dinner and the Badgers are playing Alabama in a few minutes. Then I'll take my Counting Sheep pill, wake up 5 times in the night to pee in the lemonade bottle and see what Sunday looks like. Hope you all have a super duper holiday weekend. Hugs, Bob
