Last Thursday i went to take "chemo" nap number 2, i checked in on time, and went for blood work and they plopped my butt down and i sat, and sat, and sat...for over an hour, i asked them why it was taking so long to get me backed and hooked up, was told they had to wait for my bloodwork to come back, well that sucked.
I found out as a rule, i could come in a day or two before hand, get the bloodwork dow=ne and not have to wait anymore, well damn, could you not tell a man that to start with?
on the differnt side, my throat hurts like hell, and on top of that i lost my voice over the weekend, found out one of the new meds they gave me was a liquid laced with lidocaine, made my vocal cords all numb and therefore could not work, the SO(Sometimes Other) liked that, she kept makeing me make croaking sounds for her enjoyment.
Back to Bloodwork, mine came back last week and they are not happy, my white cells have tanked, they are at 1.4, a good chemo person is suppose to be around 3.0-3.5 and a normal person is 6-7 and i scored 1.4 .. so what does that mean for chemo boy? a lecture..why was i not suprised, i mean its not like i am causing my cell count to go down, but new rules, have a fever? go to ER, any sign of infection? go to ER, dizzyness, trouble walking ..go to ER..difficulty breathing?..wait? what? let me guess..go to ER..she said yes and quickly..i love my nurses.
well its running up on 5am, chemo boy is going to nap for an hour before i run off to work, later all
