Another day in the hospital, due to low blood counts. I also have low oxygen blood levels, but that seems to be the lesser of the two worries. Having a low white count, means that folks coming into my room need to wear a mask. I'm also on contact precautions, because I have "Shingles". Don't know how many of you have had Shingles, but its painful & ugly, to say the least.
Don't know if ya'll realize that I've been in the hospital two weeks today. I did go home for 17hrs, but I ended up right back at the hospital, and eventually in my same room. It's tiresome to be here this long. Cas & Steve have been here daily, and have spent the night, without complaint, every night. My mom has been here too, and that has been nice!. She also spent the night once, in hopes of giving the guys a break, but she hated that adventure! Being woke up constantly, isn't her cup to tea. Now that the guys are back on the watch, everybody (mostly me)is happy again.
Please keep your fingers crossed for higher blood counts! Thanks for all the show of support too! I really, really need it while I'm locked up here on the Oncology floor! Ya'll take care.....
