love is health
Health Update 11/2211/22/2013 First, thank you all again for your love/ support. I'm a pretty sentimental and social person. The flowers, encouragement, positive thoughts, and cheerleading mean a lot to me. Coming from a large family, I rely on others to see me through rough patches, so thank you for seeing me through!
I've been in the hospital since Wednesday night. Like The Great Tooth Debacle of 2013, I got a post-chemo fever indicating an infection. The difference this time is that my immunity indicators (specific white blood cell levels) were so low that I needed to be isolated until they come back to a more defensible level. To be clear - the infection doesn't cause the immunity problem - the immunity problem allows the infection. In other words - the fever was a sign that my immune system was failing. While I am generally pretty chipper and upbeat (and still am), things got a little scarier lately with having to be hospitalized. And while I know with absolute certainty my immune system will recover (it always does - this is just part of the process), there is something unnerving about knowing that there is very little defending my body from infection. If I caught something dangerous, there's not much my body could do about it. Right now, my poor little army (aka my white blood cells) are doing their damnest just to kick a flu. A stupid, silly, flu virus. I know I will be okay. In the interim - antibiotics and tamiflu keep my little army afloat, and keep other germs at bay. I will be at my treatment center/ hospital until my white blood cell counts reach a certain level again. That is unfortunately unpredictable, and comes with many a needle poke to determine. For folks in Phoenix, if you want to come visit, please do! Be forewarned - you will have to wear a face mask while around me, and you cannot visit if you were/ are recently sick. Text me for the address. U
