Well Good Morning! I feel like I have been in complete hibernation. I don't think I have slept this much my whole life. After sleeping most of the day and night away yesterday, I woke up this morning to the nurse's rounds pretty good! I have been hooked up continuously to an IV due to the fact that I have not been able to eat or drink much. So I woke up this morning at around 4 and caught up with Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice on Hulu. Awesome episodes! Gotta love Hulu. I am just psyched I can actually stay away finally to watch something. Finally I was detached from my IV. So after my nurse carefully bandaged up my hickman line, I jumped out of bed (well that is a little exaggeration) to take a nice hot shower. So after a nice hot shower I got my sweats on and actually left my room and took a stroll to the refrigerator to get an apple juice. Exciting times my friends!! I left the bed!!
I just got my labs back and all is good so far. My WBC is continuing to drop and has not yet bottomed out. So far no additional platelets are needed. I will just need to be hooked up to George again to get more Potassium. It looks like a cloudy day outside. Did I mention I am lucky enough to have a window?. What I wouldn't do to step outside and get fresh air. But I guess that will need to wait a few weeks. I cannot believe how good I feel today. I had a great phone conversation with all my kids this morning. I miss them so much. I love looking at all their photos but I miss how sweet they smell and how good it feels to hug them. Hopefully tomorrow they will be coming in to visit. Today my dad and my brother are coming in. I am looking forward to seeing them.
I am waiting for the doctors to make their rounds. All I know is that I feel rested and I actually ate a pancake this morning. It is all good!! So I am feeling so blessed to be feeling well this morning. I know I have some tough days ahead but in this very moment I feel good, stronger and so blessed. Today is Day 2 of a whole new beautiful life for me!
Thank you for all your continuing thoughts and prayers!
Love
Jeanie
