Okay this is the third time I've started this blog. To say I'm frustrated is a total understatement. The problem is I'm afraid it's going to get shorter every time I have to redo it.
Thank you all for of your prayers. They are certainly working. My platelets are up to 19 and my hemoglobin is up to10.4. The only thing Dr. B is worried about is my neutrophils; they are going slightly down.
The good news is she said I might be able to go home tomorrow. And I do stress the word "might." PT came in this morning and got me up and walking with a walker and I was able to walk to one end of the hallway and back and then I rested a bit and walked down to the end of the other hallway. It felt good to be up and walking but I must admit that my knees were getting wobbly and my thigh muscles were letting me know they hadn't been used for a while. It may not be exciting to you but after being on bed rest since Friday evening I almost wanted to do a happy dance.
The other big news is that Dr. B told me yesterday that I wasn't going back to work. I'm not quite sure how I feel about that. She told me I needed to rest and not worry about work. Easy for her to say. The problem is no one else knows how to do what I do. My supervisor knows some of what I do but not all of it and the parts he needs to know doesn't know are pretty critical. Sometimes I wish I didn't worry about our students so much.
I'm sorry this is so short but I don't want to have to redo it a fourth time. Your continued prayers are much appreciated and I ask that the Lord richly bless you for all of the prayers you have already said.
TTFN as Tigger would say,
Hi Carol,
ReplyDeleteI just sent you an email with program changes and received your kick back email.
Don't worry I sent Tom an email to get the scoop who will be doing the changes.
I wanted to check in to see how you are doing. Keep doing what your doctor says! I know it's tough because you are bull headed like me! But this is a time you have too! REST REST REST till you can't rest anymore your body needs it!
Work is always going to be there with or without you! It will get done! It might not be right but that is NOT your fault. just chuckle about it!. I have been gone most of the last two weeks. My son graduated basic training from Fort Benning GA. He is back home after a long 5 months! He is in the National Guard and now is trying to get into the Auto Tech program for the fall. Yeppy another one going to college. LOL
You take care!

Take care, sister, and do what the dr says. I'm sure it was a shock to hear "no work", but she knows what she's talking about! Your getting rest and relaxation are so important! Let me know what I can do to help....keeping the prayers coming your way!
