Day 2 of isolation! 19 days left. White blood cell count has dropped to 0.2, so chemotherapy seems to be working as intended. Hopefully all the cancerous cells (blasts) are being killed as well – won’t know for sure until they perform blood marrow biopsy again on day 21 of my hospitalization.
Lorraine stopped by after Church today to visit. A little odd having to talk to her through a glass window barrier with a phone (just like prison I guess), but we still managed to have a good visit.
Started riding the bike today in my room – two, 20-minutes sessions today. Hope to increase tomorrow. Had another platelet transfusion this morning and a slight bloody nose. All part of the program!
It wasn’t pretty, but the Texans won today, and last night our glorious Rockets defended themselves against the scurrilous Lakers! Don’t mess with Texas, Chris Paul or James Hardin!
Blessed to have very supportive family and friends who continuously check in on me and send me supportive messages.
Keep me and my family in your prayers,
Love and Peace,
John L.
