I continue to feel better today than I did two days ago. The nurses tell me that I will get to feeling worse so I will see how that goes but for now I feel good. My white count came up a bit today but they said it was because I started on the growth factor shot yesterday and it will come down to where I have almost no white count at all. I will continue on the growth factor shots until my levels are back to normal. My white count was 1.46 today my platelet level was 13. I will have to get platelets tomorrow and possibly another unit of blood. They are trying to keep my hemoglobin level above 8.5.
Getting my blood samples drawn here at the apartment worked out really well. When we got to UAMS they already had the samples tested and I received the results. I really liked that.
I hate to complain but can't they find some nurses another job to do other than nursing? A male nurse was changing the bandage on my neck, which covers the CVL line entry into my neck. He was taking the bandage off and pulled a big hunk of skin off of my neck and it did not feel good and still does not. He was simply going too fast and too rough to make it come off correctly. Pulling hair out with tape does not feel good but that is no comparison to pulling your skin off with tape.
I will stop complaining and let you go on enjoy your day or your evening. Thanks for following along with us and caring.
