HGB 9.5
WBC 160 up 80
PLT 21
My throat has been sore the biggest part of the day but currently it is like I can SWALLOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The pain is not there and I want to keep it that way. They said try no food just water for the next couple of days. They are also suspecting my WBC to take a big jump like possible 500. Once I get to 1,000 that should be the magic number for all the gastro intestinal pains and problems to go away. I won't be on a normal diet for several weeks to come they say and healing should occur PLUS I would be able to get out of here.
They are acting like the 20th! I will have my infusion port and Hickman catheter removed that morning of discharge. They will send me home with antibiotics for a couple of weeks to get rid of any lingering staph (I think came from the Hickman).
My weight is 247 and I suspect it will drop even more until I can get back to OUTBACK! For a juicy STEAK!
I'm going to lay down and take it easy. FELLING 70% better this evening!!!!

I am catching up on your site and happy to hear things are taking a turn for the better. I just got my catheter removed and it is wonderful to shower and bath like a normal person. I pray your counts continue to rise and you get to go home real soon.

Hi, Just wanted you to know I called your mother for your address and we decided that I would just take your blanket to her and she will put it on your bed at home. Good luck and God bless. Sue
Hey Alan; Just found your blog again after having lost it.
We've been South again, Katrina still has things in a mess.
Hope you continue to improve and are able to get home soon.
Charlie and Ethel
