Just a quick update today…My ANC is still in the single
digits. I am at 8 today. My RBCs are getting low again (despite my
transfusion 2 days ago) and my nurse thinks I’ll need another transfusion
tomorrow morning once they recheck me.
The biggest side effect of the low RBC count is that I’m SO tired! I was
only able to walk 20 lengths of the hall today cuz it wore me out so quickly.
Last night they started a new IV pump that can pump 6
different meds into my line at a time.
They decided to do this so that they don’t have to worry about risking
me getting an infection as they had been constantly changing tubing and
exposing me to potential problems. So
this new IV pump is in addition to my regular pump (cuz some meds can’t go
through the “combo pump”. The only thing
about it that annoys me is that its LOUD.
It sounds like the “old days” when you’d rewind a cassette tape and it
would hit the end and make that clicking sound.
This pump makes that noise every 5 seconds. I’m getting used to it now, but I had to use
earplugs last night in order to fall asleep cuz it was driving me nuts J lol
Other than feeling super tired, not much else is going
on. I’ll report back on Monday. Have a great weekend!
