Day 557: Waiting

Whhhhooooaaaaa........it's been 15 days since I updated you all on my health progress. Many of you probably think I'm dead or something....okay, not funny. Lol. Anyways, not much has happened (good right?). The last time I updated it was the nigh before my birthday and I was in the hospital. Well they didn't start chemo until midnight on my bday. I didnt really tell anyone it was my birthday they just kinda noticed it in my file or on my hospital band. Then it spread like wildfire from there. The whole floor got me a cake and sang happy birthday to me (embarrassing) then my brother came down from Germany and they brought me a cake. I just realized I didn't have any cake at all.....hmm.then the next day, my real doctors nurses called me from the cancer center and sang me happy birthday as well.

After 5 long days in the hospital I was fine and didn't run any fevers (I think bc this dose was a whole lot less strong than the first dose.....  Or so my doctor says) or get sick in anyway so I went home. Then on day 9 of chemo I came back to the cancer center and got another small dose of chemo. Which really wasn't that bad. My sister brought me to the cancer center and we slept the whole time. It was lovely.

So that was Monday and then come to find out, I was like deathly low on platelets.....a 5!! holy cow! That was lower than when I first came in 2011! But the weird thing was that I didn't have any signs of it. Like bruising or anything .....it was crazy. I guess my body functions on low stuff  anyways. Lol. Then of course, my hemoglobin was low (7.1....even though i never felt Like it) so I came in on Tuesday and got 2 bags of platelets and one bag of blood....so Tuesday I thought I was done....noooooo. Wednesday I woke up and was tired. Not like sleepy tired but just walking around tired. Like I had to sit everywhere I went. It was bananas. And I kept thinking.....man I just got. Loos yesterday and I was good enough to go walking with Emily and Liz yesterday.....and I went in to get more labs taken and what do you know, my hemoglobin was low AGAIN. A 7.4 this time. So now today is Thursday and here I am getting more blood.....awesome right? Yes! Lol. 

Okay I'm going to watch some tv and get off here. I love you all. :)

Sorry for the lonnnnggg wait.
