My labs were ungodly slow to get back today. I think it was because I wanted to know what my neutraphils were so bad. Around 2pm they still were not back so I went for a walk, it was so nice outside & I had not been out really for about 2 days. I had on my black sweat pants, a dark purple scrub top, black dew rag & that stupid duck bill mask I have to wear every where. Needless to say it was sunny out & the further I walked the hotter it was getting. I walked from the James all the way to the Short North. I have not been up by campus in years & the area has changed so much. There is a real ghetto are between campus & the Short North I found out. I started getting really hot & sweaty so I turned around at King Ave. By the time I got back to the 7 Eleven by Taco Bell on High I was dehydrated & a little winded to say the least so I had to stop & get a Vitamin Water. Marcus called me about that time & I couldn't hardly talk I kept telling him I had to get back to the Hotel because my brain would not let me say hospital. I think I pushed myself a little to hard.
When I got back to my room I had to lay down for awhile & I was pissed because my lab reports still were not back yet. Finally around 4:30 after I asked the RN to call down to the lab to see what was going on I got my results. My Hemoglobin went from 10 to 9.9, My Hct went from 28.4 to 28.3, my White Blood Cell count went from .9 to 1.2 so I knew my neutraphil count had to of gone up & my platelet count went from 34 to 64 ( 3 days without an infusion). My Neutraphil count went from 100 to 360 so I am getting a lot closer to getting outta here, maybe even tomorrow, I hope so. I have plans for this weekend!!!
Even if they do let me out this weekend I found out I get to come in first thing Monday morning for another lovely Bone Marrow Biopsy & then again on Wednesday for the results & to schedule my next admission. Sounds like they are not going to give me much of a break.
Kotsko from my unit came up real quick to check on me he is a Columbus Firefighter & was on a squad run. It was good to see a familiar face & a survivor, he beat Lymphoma Cancer a few years back.
Other than that my night was uneventful. I watched the 3rd disk of season 1 My Name is Earl. I am so stinking bored & I am ready to go home!

Morning Sandi,
You need to stay out of the Ghetto!!! Don't push yourself so hard, you may end up in the "Hotel" longer, and that wouldn't be good!! Glad to hear those nutraphills took a jump in the right direction. Why are they doing so many biopsys? I know what they're looking for but damn it man those are too painfull to have on a reg basis. Hope you have another jump in numbers so you can go home for a bit. I wish we had some of that warm weather here, they got 6" of snow in the Black Hills last night....YUK!!!....I'm not looking forward to any of that!! I love you Babe, talk to you soon.
Sandi! You are in my thoughts and prayers today. You are an amazing, strong woman. It shows now more than ever...I know it probably does not feel like that to you, but it is true. Also, I feel for you in all that paperwork for disability and such. That sucks! Just slog through it a little at a time. God bless you and your family! Love, ~tonya
Sandi,
Take it a little easy. I can understand why you really want to get out of there. I continue to pray for your lab results to continue to improve and you feel stronger every day. If you can share a home address for us to send some correspondence in the future that would be great.
Gently take care of YOURSELF!

Hi Babe...well, the first round of kids have had their flu shot....I can't get mine until Tuesday I think at the Senior Center.I don't think it is going to be a good experience when Zack gets his today, Brandon says he has to hold him down....since Zackery is stronger than I am we'll have to see how that one works !! ha ha. I woke up this morning stepping in dog poo....not good without my coffee. I got over it but my shoe is till outside with the crap all over it. I know now why I really do not like animals. I've been washing everything in sight in the dining room that even looks like it is dusty. I will move to your bedroom in the morning when Marc gets up. The kids and Marcus worked a long time last night on your bathroom....Look Kiddo, you might be one tough cookie but there is such a thing as common sense....why in the world would you walk that far yesterday????? I know how far that is and you need to take things in moderation for awhile.....as far as plans for this weekend I hope that they are "gentle plans".....get it !!!! I love you dearly, but sometimes I think you push the preverbally button just a little to far....just a little motherly advise !!!!! You are sick....you need to act like you are sick....and you need to get well....so with that said, got to go and do laundry...it never stops...Much Love, Misty
OK, Sandi, Who am I going to use as a contact down at Jeff Jones's office now? This is a poor way to get out of having to talk or email me; Maybe I should change my deodorant?
Hang in there. You are in my prayers.

hi honey,i hope your numbers get where you want them this weekend. you should not push yourself so hard.usually your being stubborn and pushing the limits is ok or tolerable,BUT in this case it could cause you a set back . you have to take it easy and learn to rest.your little venture reminds me of a little 15 year old girl who use to walk all over... fast and with her ponytail bouncing as she went flying on her way home or to work.i wonder who that could have been???? please take care of yourself. i love you so.....much.love,aunt bonnie
