November 23, 2013.. My white cell count today was 6.77, hemoglobin-8.8, platelet-105, and HPC-2.
I sure am glad to see the HPC has gone back up. I still need quite a bit to go on that number for a good collection.
I got the 600 and 900 mcg injections of Neupogen today but I did not get any extra infusions. I expect I will get another unit of blood soon due to my hemoglobin level.
I know I have said this before but I will say it again, there are so many nice people here at the hospital. We go to Infusion 4 twice a day for the injections. We are greeted as if the people are so glad to see us. It is as if we are close friends to some. I have said this place is different than any medical place I have been. For example, a few days ago, we went to check on a bill we have been getting. The nice lady told us what we needed to do and as we left, she gave us both a hug, gave us her phone number and invited us to have Thanksgiving dinner with her if we are still here. I can't imagine that happening at the hospital back home. The way it is here sure makes the situation more bearable and I am thankful.
You know Jerry we are so glad you are in such good hands over there while you're away from us all over here. We miss you both so much & want all to be taken care of over there but we can hardly wait for you both to get back into all of our arms over here too. It is so neat that the lady over there invited you for Thanksgiving meal if you're still there, what a wonderful center. Love & prayers to you both & if youu're like us here over there you best both better bundle up tonight ---- cold has it!!
ReplyDeleteJerry, I have no way of understanding all the things you are going thorough but do pray that you and Rita are held tight in the Lord’s arms.
ReplyDeleteAs I think about you, I can’t help but think about all the good times we had playing around with computers, buddies and just good ole laughs. You are such a special person and have given me a good friend over the years to share many good times.
When you get back home, maybe we can go show some photos together and talk about ole times some. I would like to get some of the guys together and have lunch or something. Comdex always provided some good laughs and interesting times.
I read your daily blog and feel the compassion of your heart and others around you though your words. Thanks so much for taking the time to share and keep the faith. GOD Bless ole friend!!
