More Medical Updatery

Minor medical update, and less bitchy, too! 

So, Tuesday was my chemo infusion. The doctor was concerned that my white blood count was almost *too* low. There's a point - like with the red blood cell count- where they won't do chemo. If it had been any lower we might have had to postpone for a week. The plan was for me to come back today and get blood work done before the chemo ball removal so they could give me a shot if necessary. 

I didn't need the shot! 

Yay! Still working my tail off, but starting to see that the light at the end of the tunnel might not be an oncoming train. People are starting to make contact again. Which reminds me I need to ping someone else, but only because they're waiting to hear from someone so I know whether or not I need to do another thing. Are we having fun, yet?
