We were at MIRT today about three and a half hours getting blood work done and questions answered. It looks like I will have to get a unit of blood tomorrow since my hemoglobin today was 8.2.
My platelets were down from 34 yesterday to 26 today. My white blood count yesterday was 4.07. Today it's 2.57. It looks as if I'm heading into the time that I will have no immunity and I will have to be very careful.
I have not mentioned how my neck is doing after the surgery with the seven or eight inch incision starting at my skull and going down my back, but it continues to improve with less pain when I move my head up and down and back and forth. I had been concerned that it might retain that pain but it is improving.
Thank you all for all the prayers and support.
Glad the pain in getting less on your neck & we hope it continues that way.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness Jerry today felt like fall here, had all my windows open & what a nice breeze blowing through the house!! I tell Pa we need to pull the camper out this week!! Hope you're feeling this coolness down there.
Praying for your needs. Love you both
Glad your neck is improving Uncle Jerry.
ReplyDeleteLove and prayers to you both!

I am sorry you have been suffering from the neck incision, in addition to everthing else you have been experiencing. You are remarkable, Jerry, for enduring so much and staying as upbeat as possible. Best wishes to you and Reta.
