Hi folks - this session has been awful. Aches and pains, mouth fungus, can't talk because my mouth and throat hurt and just feeling deathly ill.
Spent the day at the hospital Yesterday. My temperature has raised slightly and when going through chemo they tell you to get to the hospital. So I tried to avoid it but after talking to the nurse at the cencer centre, she thought it best that I go - one can't take chances with a fever. So my neighbour Dianne took me in around 2:00 pm and there I was until 8:30 last night. I couldn't believe how busy it was, never seen it that way before. Plus I was fast tracked because of the cancer. Anyway I was eventually seen and needed a chest xray and bloodwork done, and then the wait again. I was concerned they were going to keep me in and prayed that that was not the case. Anyway - eventually I got to see a doc and results of the bloodwork etc. My white cell count had dropped to 1.5 and I believe that is borderline for being admitted and on antibiotics etc. I was feeling so ill by this time, I didn't care what they did with me. I had had nothing to eat all day - my stomach was acting up - I just wanted to sleep. They sent me home telling me to watch the temperature, gave me a mouthwash antibiotic and hopefully I will start feeling better.
Well I slept pretty much all day - no energy whatsoever - got my mouthwash prescription and am rinsing with that - it seems to be helping. Maureen showed up around 4:00 today and I had just got up for a few minutes. I was trying to change the bed sheets and so she arrived at the right time. She is amazing - had been to the hospital with her aunt and is worried about her son and here she is seeing to me. Her husband just called to check in on her and calls her 'Florence Nightingale' - I had to laugh - it hurts to laugh.
So I just wanted to fill you in before heading back to bed. If I am not blogging you know I am not up to it.
The Vixen has checked out for now - but she'll be back.
