Okaaay...here's the reason for my fatigue

Fever started going up Thursday....was admitted to hospital...(at home, yikes)...needed two units of blood and am on day five of introveinious antibiotics. From a UTI no less. Doc said I was a walking bundle of infection. Still feel sick...should have stayed in Houston...I guess the two day trip home was harder than I thought....too tired to write more..Lorie

Still in hospital. I feel like I have a very good doctor now as well. She was here late last night, about 9:30, said my blisters are healing, and while my WBC is still really low the red looks looks pretty good. I will probably stay in the hospital a little longer, but who knows....miracles do happen.

On the serious side, I am usually one tough cookie...but this stuff is hard on us. I broke down and cried and wanted to give up. A nurse here in the hospital got down on her knees beside my bed, held my hand and softly talked me through the positives I (we) have in this cancer. The healing steps that will come, and how she will be proud to hold my hand and walk me through any decision or upset caused by the cancer. She talked about family, friends and even future friends whose life is Enriched by each and every one of us. We find angels everywhere we go.

Ok! Who has heard of Nutrepena? I had never heard the word until I WAS the word...

Bless all of you for being here. I wish none of us were here, but helping each other makes it a little more bearable . Lorie
