Here is the information on my most recent blood counts:
– White blood cells are low but acceptable. I just need to be careful to keep my hands clean and watch out for who I come into contact with. No sick people!
– Red blood cells. Technically, I am anemic but I am far better than I was on April first when I checked into the hospital. I do not get tired. No fever, no shortness of breath.
– Platelets are whack. I have about two and a half times the amount of platelets a male of my size should have. While this sounds good considering it was not long ago I had to get platelet transfusions, it is not. To fix this I am taking Lovenox shots twice a day (in the stomach) for another 30 days. I am also taking an aspirin once a day.
Well I am finding out that I am not my blood counts. I still feel good. I can drive, walk a long distiance, take a warm shower…all with impunity 🙂
