What happen?
Just when I thought I was free of pain and getting better I got a call from my local clinic saying my blood markers were too low and I'd need blood work every day and some Neupogen shots and some pills for low potassium. I could not believe it ... Neupogen really makes me miserable - it's stronger than Neulasta but acts over a shorter period. Those of you who ever gave birth can relate to this comparison - contractions! When I was pregnant swimming brought substantial relief but now I am told I should not swim (cause I can end up in a hospital should I catch any bug); and I can't eat fresh fruits and veggies - something I've been doing all this time! You can imagine how bombed I felt.
Good news is that the shots and the pills did their job and I am now much much better.
I am over the pain and I don't have to do blood work till Tuesday! In fact, I am feeling rather terrific - we took care of so much needed household stuff (like 4 batches of laundry :)) and I went to a concert of Russian songwriters.
So I have one more week to enjoy before I return to MDA. And, the World Cup is on - Raymond is so excited about each game (he used to play in the national youth league n Belize). And I love football too!
