thanks all for positive messages...very welcome! been without temperature for 48 hours...they took hickman line out on saturday night and so removed source of infection. now have canulas inserted into shrinking veins every two days. pain. too much of it. plus i have to have my blood taken everyday from said shrinking veins...i shrink visibly when nurse with needles walks into my room! f'ing shrinking.... good news is neutrophils are 0.4, so at last baby soliders starting to gather. lets hope they party hard.
i have unknown rash across my body. pain in one leg. having to have ultra sound and needle biopsy on swollen neck gland in neck. never rains but it pours. could do with a break! hopefully next entry will be a bit brighter. thinking of you all. love and ciao ciao...
Hi Tessa
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time that I have written anything on a blog so I hope this is where you send a message - pathetic amateur that I am. Just wanted to say that I am thinking about what you are going through and wishing you didn't have to - I am so impressed by your medical linguistics - I hope you are being a really difficult patient? love Pipx
and Chris sends a big kiss x

ReplyDeleteHi Tessa - good to get some positive news - rash etc must be horrid, but hurrah for neutrophils, not really sure what they are - but I know we love them - and you.

Tessa, It's good to hear from you again. I was beginning to fear that things had taken a bad turn. At least the neutrophils are starting to stir, and hopefully multiply. Go on neutrophils!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting ready to go off to Vegas for one of my adventures in beauty pageantdom. Have been thinking about what to pack, and will begin over the weekend. I'm kind of dreading it at the moment, but have my fingers crossed that all will be well once I get there.
All the best to you. Keep on going!!! Much love from Cleveland.
