Another week

Well, it's been a week since my last post. Monday I went to back to the clinic for another check up and was not shocked to find I was running on E. My white blood cell count is at 0.85, ANC is 0.00 and my platelets are at 47,000. All of these combined made my bed feel better than any place in the world the last few days. Yesterday, as pathetic as this is, I realized I watched 10 straight hours of Law and Order Special Victims Unit (one of my fav shows). Catching up on some Z's and laying low was great and I feel better everyday.

I go back in on Friday for another check up and I should be up to 100% again by then. The only concern is my platelets...because they are too low.  I am in this annoying in between stage where my platelets are not low enough to transfuse, but not high enough to receive chemo. So, Monday we have to hope they are up again to about 75,000 so I can check in and keep rolling. The delays are no fun...

Im halfway through week 12 in my countdown...Monday will be 11 weeks left and 9 treatments left. SINGLE DIGITS BABY! One day at a time.

Loving you all today and everyday. Shout out to all students headed back to school in the next few weeks...all you college students, I envy you ;) To my brosef Joe, hope orientation was great today. First official day at Ignatius tomorrow and first football game! Go wildcats! And to all my billikens moving in today and through the rest of the week, enjoy every second! P.S. Goodbye's stink...I don't know why they are called "good" when saying "bye" is never easy.
