There was a mix up last week…since I missed my doctors appointment.  When Bill was at the right place and I was at the wrong one, he asked about my blood work.  They said things were still low but climbing and that I didn’t need any shots or more blood to be drawn.   Then the next day the chemo lab called and said that I needed another CBC to watch my platelets.  I had that done yesterday.  Today they called and said that my platelets are up to 77.000.  That is a big jump from the 21,000 they were…so that part is good.  My red count however, is not as high as they would like, even though I had a transfusion.  She told me today that I should have had my red count shot this week.  She didn’t realize they had told me not to and assumed that I had it on schedule.  All of that to say that I have to go next week…on my make up appointment…and have bloodwork and another shot.  I am disappointed but not crushed about this.  I kind of thought that I should still be having them until I am in normal range.  I don’t like the way the shot makes me feel but I would rather have it than go back to how I was feeling before my transfusion. 

I am off now to have a date with my husband in the outfit he bought me last night….
