Well, I am 3 for 3 when it comes to unexpected hospital admissions after the B cycles. I went last Monday to the doctor's office for bloodwork to see where my counts were. While waiting for the results to see if I needed to go for a transfusion, I started feeling bad. When the nurse came out to talk to me I asked her to go to the hall to discuss a few other things I had been feeling. She said all my counts were low and I should go that day for a transfusion. I said that would be a good idea but I didn't think I could drive, as I started seeing stars... UGH!! She and one of the techs took me to a room and put me on the exam table. I felt better once I laid back, but I still didn't think I could drive anywhere. another ride courtesy of Voorhees FD, to Insipra Voorhees this time. After talking to the ED Docs, they said they were going to chat with my doc... This gave me the time to sleep for about 2 hours. It was decided that they were going to admit me and give me blood and platelets. They finally gave me blood sometime around 5-6 and also said I was going to transferred to Cooper. Once at Cooper (right at shift-change, sorry..) I got more fluids, another chest x-ray and started on antibiotics because I had a fever along with the low blood counts. The x-ray showed some pneumonia, but fortunately it was caught early this time and the fevers came down pretty quickly. I was finally able to come home Friday with oral antibiotics.
I saw my doctor this past Monday and things still look good. He said this coming Monday for round 4A, but I asked if we could push it until Wednesday so I could be there for Jeff's senior day for volleyball. He said sure, two days won't matter. So I get to see him all spiffied up for prom tonight and be there for senior day Tuesday then in for 4A. The A cycles aren't that bad, we will see what the next B cycle brings, maybe I'll make reservations for the week after I leave!
Things are still going as planned, just postponed by a week.
Be safe, be prepared, God Bless!!!
