Sunday 20th Part 2

   As promised... back again. Panella came through about 9:30am and checked. He said that my white cells are 2.2 but my NutraFill (?) haven't went up. Something about fighting off infections. There went the Sunroom visits. Supposely plants, fresh fruit, etc. Here is a good page from a search http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=AQV&q=neutropenia+and+flowers&btnG=Search&aq=f&oq=&aqi=   

   The day has went well. Slooowww, but well. I get these extreme bouts of tired, but that is all. A minor headache. I have had these ( Scabs ?) that break loose from the insides of my throat. Each time they break-away, a sharp, fast pain hits. How long it stays depends upon what you are doing, have done, and what you do during the pain. Usually though it ends up turning out good. Like the large piece that came up today. It hurt bad but in the end , swallowing and especially swallowing something without it going up your nose.

  Here is an example. I swallowed a large vitamin pill, well lubricated I might add. I done my usual cough, grunt, gag... severe times. The nurse watched with amazement. I guess I must have looked either crazy or like a lair. I mumbled to myself, inaudibly and embarrassed. well it didn't go to my lungs, but it don't feel like it went down the right way either. Ahhhh the sinus cavities. I then made a snorting sound and leaving a brown trail right down my tongue the large pill. That was a Kodak Moment. The look on her face. I don't think she had ever saw that before. She kind of started listening to me on pain meds.  I would imagine being an RN she thought she had saw it all, guess that changed, lol.

   Denise left and went home, they have a lot of patients to see tomorrow and Charlie came in replacement of Denise. Panella said home was a 95% possibility, I tried to get a time frane and the best  I could get was between 9-12. Green is suppose to stop in and check and discuss the restart date. I really don't want to start back before Christmas... given the spots are a bit better healed. I know they don't wait until I'm completely healed but there is no reason that I can see in starting something that will have to be postponed. I could be wrong and would highly a reason to do it this way.

There is much, much more to tell but fatigue, extreme fatigue strikes me hard right now. I also need to tell about the side effects of  the pain medication that I'm taking, this being one of them.
