So a little update on today's happenings. My breakfast was good. My counts are down as expected from the chemo and no chemo tonight or tomorrow (thank goodness!). Unfortunately my glucose is high and they may have to regulate my blood sugar with some insulin but they said it's normal for chemo patients to have a high glucose so it's nothing to worry about. What's another shot? I'll have to start my neupogen (sp?) or neulasta shots for a white blood count booster so I'm used to them. no big deal.
My oncologist, came in today on rounds and delivered some good news! She said that I may be able to get out of here by Wednesday or Thursday at the earliest. :) so keep your fingers crossed so I can get the heck out of this hospital for a few days. My bone marrow biopsy is scheduled for the 30th and she seemed hopeful that I could do that at the cancer center as an outpatient!! But it'll depend on the attending oncologist at the time. Hopefully, it all works out. pray for me. I have to get out of here.
Today after my breakfast, I laid around for as long as I could stand it and then I took a nice shower. Once again, it was tiring but I made it through. I got a package from my parents today that had some comfy sweats ....it was perfect because it was nice and chilly in my room and it kept me nice and warm throughout the rest of the day. I also got lots of bling jewelry from my mom to help comfort the hair loss situation (which has yet to happen but today during my shower I noticed some hairs coming out easier than usual).
Then I ate some leftover chili that I had lying around in the refrigerator that put me in just enough of a coma to get about an hour of shut eye.
I also got report from the transplant nurse that I had 3 hopeful GREAT matches out there in the world so that seems to be falling into place perfectly. There is still a bone marrow drive on AUGUST 30th at Taft Middle School and they said it could take about 5 days to be put in the registry and do preliminary testing. So if anyone who is planning to get checked, you could be my bone marrow donor...it would be a rush but they said it's possible! :)
Okay well, I'm going to watch some TV, let this chili settle in my stomach some more and wait for some fabulous visitors to come keep me company! :)
God has been so good to me today and I want to once again thank everyone out there for the constant prayers that keep me going everyday.
Love you all,
Kim
