Managed to get away without emergency treatment yesterday, by the skin of my teeth. My voice went very croaky and tight just as I came to the end, but no difficulty breathing or swallowing so they just kept me an extra half hour and even walked me outside to make sure I didn't react to the cold air. As it was degrees warmer out there then in the hospital, I did that test very well!
My white count was below the requirement at about 1.3 on Monday so I had to have an on-the spot check before they gave me anything. I had jumped to 8.5! Apparently it dips very low and then climbs back up, and they find that last little bit after the end of tablets and just before the next infusion can be a rapid improvement. Interesting that I am at my lowest ebb when I am just beginning to feel better, and we stop worrying about the possibility of having to make a dash to the hospital if I get an infection!
Had a lovely day with Mary on Tuesday. She came on Moonday evening after her duties with Charlotte's after school care, so was able to eat with us and have nearly all day on Tuesday. The day was broken up by by teleclinc call at 12.15, but we just pottered and dealt with soft fruit and salad, talked and drank tea and coffee.
