Third Shot

Counts as of 1 AM last night were: platelets 88 and white blood cells are .17. I had my third shot this morning. I really hope that my white count gets a lot higher today. All of the laxatives I've taken are finally helping. Nothing major but it's something. I will start taking them daily. It felt good to eat breakfast this morning and to actually be hungry. I had a restful night last night. My night PCT (patient care tech) brought in a pulled pork sandwich for me for dinner. She put cole slaw on it and let me tell you it's the best thing I've had to eat in a long time. She's a very sweet woman and I love the fussing she does over me!! I'm being lazy today since I'm quite tired. I'm doing crossword puzzles and listening to some old Chicago Blues. Nothing like it. The older the better!!

    Boy...sounds like a good life. Pulled pork, someone to take care of your needs, an appetite, good music, peace and quiet, meds to restore and refresh and heal....

    Glad to hear you are getting a good nite
    sleep lately, that will surely help.

    I am concerned about the coleslaw though.

    That was something not allowed when I was
    neutropenic. Linda
