Lookin' Good!
Not me per se but my blood that has been so absolutely whacky lately! I went to Dr. Stone yesterday for my follow-up post-chemo and she said "no evidence of disease" (she doesn't like to use the words "in remission") I'll take whatever vocabulary words she wants, all of the above sound wonderful to me. She was concerned, understandably about my blood and releasing me to fly so soon, so we agreed to have one more blood test done before I leave Saturday for Baltimore, my home base.
 I had my blood drawn this morning and WBC count is 1350, platelets that were 38,000 last week are 125,000 which is nearing the normal level of 130,000 to 450,000, still a tad low but sure beats last weeks count. My hemoglobin  and hematocrit both of which triggered the need for 3 units of blood and a bag of magnesium went from 7.21.to 11.1 and ? to 33 WOOHOO!
I am apprehensive about flying, neuropathy still an issue but something I can learn to live with if necessary. Dr. Stone said that sometimes it is irreversable, i'm hoping mine will improve but I'll be fine.
I start my three day trip on Monday with overnights in Buffalo and Jacksonville and then I'll fly home on Wednesday as soon as I return to Baltimore. I'll be home for 6 days to rest and set Tim's mind at ease. Then I'M OFF AGAIN! Whoop, whoop!!!
I don't look all that great right now, I wish my hair, eyebrows and lashes would get a move on, I need them. Let's see how creative I can get with makeup and of course my wigs. I have to remember not to touch my forehead so often, sometimes I end up with only one eyebrow!Tim never says anything but I can judge by the strange looks I get that something is amiss!
I can't wait to fly, I have missed it dearly. I hope God and I are insync with his plan, it has been hard for me to step back and let him have it. Stubborn ol' cuss (I mean me not him!) I will touch base with all of you before I take to the skies Saturday morning, God Bless.
