Day 14 - Thursday

Thursday was a good day.

I did have to have a platelets transfusion in the morning, but seem to be progressing well.

One of the nicest parts of the day was a great rain storm that passed through. Outside my window some Osprey flew around in the rain and fished. It was great to watch.



My weight is down a little more--I am 189 now, and here is a pic!




In the evening I was given  my Neutropinic Shot, which stimulates my white bone marrow to start making blood cells again. (They wanted to give it to me in my belly, which I was not down with so they gave it to me in my arm.) 

I did end up with a fever in the middle of the night--which was not great, but it seems to have passed.

Overall Thurs was good!

  1. Stomach shots are weird. One of the places I can shot insulin is in my belly, but could never get used to that. Now that's where I attach the insulin pump. Tends not to hurt long though depending on how thick the stuff they're giving you is. Thick fluid equals teh suck. But still, you get used to it.

  2. They gave me that again. It must be thick--they say they push it through very slowly so it hurts less--so far it has not hurt at all--so I'm all about that!
