No brakes...
Well, it appears the truck has no brakes. It just continues running over me at full speed, leaving me always feeling beat up.
Today is 21 days after transplant. I thought I would be feeling good by now, but not yet. I go between feeling terrible and not so good, with the occasional moments of feeling OK. It still hasn't hit me what my body has been through and that I am finished with the treatment. I look pretty sick too. Dark circles under my eyes and finally lost my eyebrows and most of my eyelashes. It's just part of the process.
But, I just try to stay focused on the future... and how GREAT I will feel once my body has a chance to bounce back. I'm really not going to take anything in my life for granted for sure. (how many times have I said this on the blog?)
My white counts were actually in the normal range today. Reds and platelets just kind of laying low and hanging out that way. But I should have a bounce soon.
When I went to the doc this morning, my temp was 100.2. 100.5 would have sent me to the ER. They took it 2 times later and it was different both times. And when I take it at home--same thing... my temp seems to go up and down for no reason. But it hasn't stayed at the 100.5 range long enough and hoping it doesn't so I won't have to be readmitted. Each day truly is like a rollercoaster ride.
Monday is nothing but tests all day long.
