Here
is a shocker for all of you Bit fans keeping score at home. I have found a
new way to make my pack (and Dr. Hathorn) worry about me.
So like I was saying yesterday, today was my day to go to see Dr. Hathorn and
get my latest vincristine injection. I was also supposed to get a CBC and,
pending good results, start my Leukeran. Well, Dr. Hathorn did her part.
She said that I looked really good (well, of course I did!) and that my bumps
all felt small like she expected them to feel. So I head home and take a
little nap on my chair next to my pack. I was pretty relaxed. I was
very comfortable.
So then Dr. Hathorn calls the boss man to tell him the results of my blood
work. It seems that I am not the picture of health that I was appearing to
be. Well it turns out that my white blood cells were having a party and
invited way too many guests. Dr. Hathorn said that
she
was concerned about the number of cells and that she wanted a specialist to take
a look at them. She said that I have to wait before starting my Leukeran
and that I should take some antibiotics in the mean time. Let me tell you,
having abnormal blood work for no obvious reason, makes my bosses a little
nervous. I try to tell them not to worry about it, but they do anyway.
So this is the story of my life lately. I seem to be doing well, them BAM, something else crops up. Maybe there is some "Greater Purpose" behind all of this, but I can't see what it might be.
Well, I'm thinking about settling in for another nap.
TTFN,
Little Bit.
