Thursday, November 17, 2011 – We made it to Day 10! Yesterday I had my second platelet transfusion. Before the transfusion I got Tylenol and Benadryl as a pre-med. I was already tired yesterday, and the Benadryl made me even sleepier! The platelet transfusion went fine, and then when we got home I went to sleep. I slept all afternoon, and only got up to go to the bathroom and take my pain pills every four hours. It was wonderful! I got up for dinner last night and stayed awake for a little while, and then slept soundly all night long! It was great to start getting caught up on sleep.
in the chair again...
Today we are at the hospital. We got here a little bit early, and stopped in the Courtyard Cafe for lunch. I had a cheeseburger and curly fries, which were really really good. We drew my labs and the bloodwork looks better today. My WBC (white blood cell) has DOUBLED since yesterday! Yesterday it was 0.2, today it is 0.4. We’d like for it to continue climbing until it reaches 3.0 or 4.0.
Last Thursday was the first NFL game of Thursday night football this year. My thought last Thursday night while watching the game was that if I could make it to this Thursday night things would be a lot easier. We made it, and tonight I get to watch the Denver Broncos take on the New York Jets. Which team are you rooting for?
