Good morning – truly – the nurse had taken the blood so early that the results came back right away at 6:00 AM. Ken woke me up by calling me ‘Miss Overachiever’ He went to our white board where I keep the lab numbers and the pink goal posty notes.:
Goal to be released and able to drive back to Denver is this: Neutrophils must hold at minimum or more of .50 for 3 days and at the same time the platelets must hold at 50 or more for three days.
Neutrophils yesterday were .18 TODAY .71 – this is huge accomplishment
Platelets yesterday were 24 – TODAY 35
we are very pleased but I would like to sleep more, but now I am up.
7:00 Dr arrives to tell me the good news and they are impressed and expect it to move every day now and it should go higher faster, potential a drop one day but too not worry about, Millions of stem cells are now reproducing cells. He will be back he tells me.
I order room service, music, cell phone and laptop in place, I get into my zone, but of course, the 2 Dr’s return, then nurse needs vitals and on and on. after the borage of staff, the decision is made to send me home and to return to our out-patient appointments.
Next, Heavenly Lizzie, the massage therapist, drops in and she gives me round 2 of the massage. This time I could not even more after it was over, I was so relaxed. She wrapped me in a hot blanket and disappeared. LIFE IS GOOD; here at the Mayo Spa.
I get in a few yoga stretches, take a shower, have one the of girls pop in and shave my head; bye bye hair; then pack stuff, take more meds, and go over the paperwork for discharge. Connee gets there by 3:00 and we load up and head back to the Rochester house. My dogs were so excited to see me and like wise 🙂
It was non-stop for hours!!
I am so tired I can barely keep my eyes open to finish this, so we are done. Sweet Dreams.
