Happy New Year! - Day 1
Ok .. Ok .. so it’s a belated. 
I think I was asleep by 9pm last!
Man was I tired.
Here are my counts for today:
- WBC: 4.9
- HCT: 25
- PLTS: 81
- ANC: 4753
Carrie spent the night last night which always helps me sleep a little better. I feel bad for her though because I was up at 6am ready to be unhooked from my IV and go walking. She was barely awake yet, but got up anyways to go walk the stairs with me.
So after the stair walking she went home for awhile. I decided to go back down to the lobby (more stairs) and watch I,Robot on the portable DVD for a little while. It was nice to be out of the room for awhile.
I am hoping that I have been nice to all the nurses and staff here. I am starting to get a little antsy now. I am ready to go home now. I hope that does not make me be irritable.
Carrie’s grandparents came back up to visit today too! They are so sweet. I love them so much. My Dad stopped up too! We watched some football, but mostly I just sat and listened to him and Carrie talk.
Nurse Cindy, Lindsey, and Austin stopped by to visit too! It was so nice to see them. Carrie and I had actually walked down to the lobby so the three of them went to the room first and missed us. Luckily Carrie saw them as they were walking out. I would have felt awful if we had missed them.
I have been disconnected from my IV most of the day and actually have been drinking and eating more today. Hopefully I will only need the fluids at night when I am sleeping. It would make the days alot nicer, but I just have to make sure I keep drinking is all.
My mouth is starting to get better (no horrible taste) and I think the “Creamed Corn” smell from the preservatives in my Stem Cell bags is starting to go away.
Still no signs of any mouth sores … which is a good thing. Hopefully, I can avoid that and just be tired. They say I may need a couple units of blood by Tuesday. Some of my numbers are getting a little low. They said I will actually feel better after that. Like a little pick me up!
One week down! Only two more to go!
