My blood count today was WBC 16,600; Hgb 10.7; HCT (?) 30/0; Platelets 10,000.
This resulted in my being sent to the hospital clinic for an infusion of
platelets. Unfortunately the bad news is the white blood count -- double what
it was just five days ago. This is not a good sign, not for one with my
diagnosis, and the hope is that it is a blip, that next time I have a count
taken, probably next Monday, the result will be more promising. Please God.
Apart from that, I regret I have nothing much to report. We went to the
doctor, we went to the hospital, we came home. My next appointment with the
clinic is for Monday, when I will be given a day's worth of reds.
Sorry this is not an uplifting note. I feel like lying down, which I am about
to do.
Hope there is much more promise and optimism among my friends here at mol. As
for the proposed festivities in September, I appreciated and was uplifted by
what I read, but it is hard to visualize participation by yours truly,
especially in my present condition. We'll see. You never know what tricks life
can play on you.
God bless
