Neut: 0.1
Weight: 60.7
Yeah! 0.1 neutrophils! 0.1 might not be a big number, but very happy to see something register on the scale, which is a good sign.
Engraftment (we learnt today) is when neut's are 0.5 or above 2 days in a row, haem is 80 and holding (or going up) and platelets are 50 + and holding their own (i.e. I'm not requiring transfusion).
Still feeling incredibly tired and weak - but I knew to expect that. I walked to the kitchen today and back again and then had a shower standing up (rather than sitting in the chair) and by the end of that, I was exhausted.
My parents have been down and I have put them busy to work cooking with a request for bubble and squeak which they delivered for lunch - and was great. It is so good to be eating real food again.
So after lunch, it was nap time and then not much else to today! A transfusion of platelets later tonight, so hoping levels will look a bit better tomorrow
Happy to report just a relatively boring day.
Just happy to feel a bit better each day.
