Thanksgiving

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.

Mine was not as I had planned. We had planned to go to our friend's for a Thai dinner. Henry was with his dad and my sister and her family usually come over on Friday so we planned our traditional Thanksgiving for tomorrow.

I woke up feeling awful this morning. I had been in to see the doctor yesterday to have my white blood count done and it had gone all the way down to 500! My normal, non-chemo, is 5000 and it had been down to 1650, but 500 is extremely low.

I called in to the doctor today, and told him how I was feeling and he prescribed antibiotics again. However, he also told me that if I had a fever at all or was feeling really bad that I needed to call again. I'm a terrible patient...but I've not felt this bad for such a long time I didn't think it was a good idea to take any chances given my low blood count...so in I went to the hospital. I was given IV fluids and more antibiotics and a shot of Neupogen to boost my white cells. Not exactly how I wanted to spend my Thanksgiving at all, but I am really grateful they were there. I am so grateful for everyone of my doctors and nurses, they are truly wonderful.

I'm still not feeling very good, but I'm home and I happy for that. I even more happy that Henry came home this evening instead of tomorrow, I feel better when he's here.

So even though my day was not as planned or what I wanted to do at all, I'm still grateful for the day and for all of you.

Much love to all of you!
