Today is Monday. I'm in the hospital one week earlier than anticipated. BLEH
So this whole past week I have been pushing it. My body tired? extremely. I just don't want to be sick though. Like this last treatment gave me a whirly. The anxiety really got to me. I'm not good at sitting at home. I'm having low back pain from my muscles becoming so weak.
On Thursday, i got to work out at the Santa Barbara Athletic club
On Friday i went to a dodgers game
Saturday I tried to re-coup.
Sunday i ran out of pain killers and had to go to the doctors to get checked out. Went to Urgent Care at Sansum, then to the ER at Cottage, and then ended up on the 5th Floor where the Oncology department is where I was Admitted. So I'm back in the hospital for a couple days :(
The Mouth Sores just got infected. I thought they were my wisdom teeth being annoying, but that's just the site of infection. So then i just thought hey ER antibiotics and pain pills then send me on my way. Apparently i was Anemic, then neutropenic . Basically my Blood Count just dropped. Around 8pm when i got to the 5th floor then had Blood waiting for me. I got 2 pints of blood for my blood transfusion. A shot here to increase my WBC count then pills pills pills, I could barely speak, and I'm a chubby chipmunk. oh I'm also not allowed to eat, but that's fine because i haven't in the past two days anyways. my pain was intolerable when they gave me the highest dose of pain meds, which disappear after 2 hours?? that's it? so i have to be annoying and ask the nurse for a dose every two hours. almost the max. i have a high pain tolerance, but i also have a high pain med tolerance.
Can i go home yet?
