Back to the Clinic today to get approval to fly home tomorrow to Florida. Blood work comes first then appointment with Dr. Estrov. The blood works shows that my platelets are very low – low enough for the doctor to have concerns about me flying home. Evidently, if your platelets are too low the pressure of flying can cause bleeding in your brain and lungs. Yikes – thanks for telling me! So, before flying they want me to have a pint of platelets. Unfortunately, they can’t get me scheduled until late that night. For me, just stepping into the area where they give me my Chemotherapy makes me immediately feel nauseated – even though I’m only getting platelets. Mind over matter/mind over matter. How does one control that?
Sue arrives at the hospital about 6:00 p.m. and we are finished by 8:30 p.m. John is home preparing chicken and mashed potatoes. I’m actually feeling hungry!
