Today begins round 3. I had blood drawn first this morning and it was analyzed quickly. So when the dr came in to see me the results were back. My white cell count was good but the red cell count was low. It was not low enough to postpone my treatments this week, but he wants me to have a blood transfusion. It looks like that might happen on Saturday - I have to go to the hospital for that...in what they call "short stay". Yippee.
Anyway, today was fine - just got 3 liters of fluids after seeing the dr., so other than my belly feeling bloated, I'm okay. I shouldn't wish time away...especially with the beautiful weather we're having, but I just want this week to go by quickly.
We got Lindsey moved into her apt over the weekend. I'll try to post a couple pictures tomorrow.
Thanks for reading.
Love, Susan
That stinks about the transfusion and the "short stay" :( I do believe in the position you are in it is REALLY okay to wish the week to go quickly! I will pray that the week just flies by for you :) Will they do the transfusion in Kokomo or Indy? Hang in there, Susan. I am pulling for you :)

I am so sorry to hear that you have to have the transfusion but you will be amazed at the way you will feel afterwards. I will be so glad when all this is behind you. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteHang in there girl... half way through!
ReplyDeleteHey Susan! It's Margaret (Dresch) from school! I just heard about what you are going through from Glenda. She was kind enough to send me your blog info so I could follow your progress. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and I'll hope for better days ahead for you. You are lucky that you have a great support system of family and friends, and especially, Alfred! He's handsome!
