Day 2 Sleeping all day long

HGB 10.1
WBC 320
PLT 79K

Labs keep going down. My throat is like raw meat. They are giving me meds to make me rest and hopefully sleep. I don't even recall them coming in to get BP checks or anything. It's like I'm really out of it. They said tomorrow will be more of the same. They don't want me to do much. How can I with all the drugs they give you! I think I recall IT was 6:00 a.m. and I woke up at 1:00 p.m. I fell back to sleep at 2:00 and I awake at 6:00 and thought I better type something into my blog. They tell me it is most likely my blood counts will bottom out tomorrow. I feel like I have a bit of a cold working on but the throat is over seeing that for now. Developed a rash around my groin and the medication they give you helps that out just fine. I think since I have started up here with my outpatient stuff I've now lost a total of around 30lbs.

I sure I could lose another 30 and feel almost normal again. It has made it so hard (Steroids) that it makes you want to eat, eat and eat more! I've not had any real food for sometime and it doesn't look like I'll be able to eat for a week or more. They told me Day 5 I start getting Neupogen again to help increase my WBC...just when you thought you was done with bone pain, your not! Heading back to bead. Will try to post tomorrow.

Good night!

Hang in there. Once your counts come back that throat stuff should clear up real quick.

Get your rest and this will all be behind you before you know it.
