Weekend

I have missed a few days so I wanted to catch up with you. I arrived home last week luckily before the storm came. On Friday, we were supposed to drive to Denver for blood work but we were able to change it to Fort Collins so we wouldn't have to drive too far in the weather. All looked good. Sunday was a beautiful day. This was the first weekend that I have not had to visit a doctor, the ER, or any other medical place. My leakage has stopped and I am able to breathe pretty normal. I do still have some discomfort from the actual incision site as I still have stitches. Yesterday, we did drive to Denver for more blood work. This is the period when my white blood cells will drop to their lowest. Since this is only my first cycle, they have luckily not dropped too far. Also the doc's really watch hemoglobin and platelet counts during this period. While there, I was able to schedule my next visit on Thursday, thus saving a trip down there Wednesday and Friday. Each cycle compounds on itself, so while my counts might not drop too much this go round, they could drop more in the future thus requiring me to get blood transfusions. I will just wait and see.
With the beautiful spring weather, I can't tell you how glad I am to be at home finally. Thank you for all of your support and prayers. It is what has gotten me through this so far. Thank you again and enjoy the beautiful weather!
