Bit of a scare

Hi

I had a bit of a scare today!! Carol has been working in the office for the last two weeks instead of from home and she has come home with a nasty cold. She is coughing, sneezing, and just spewing germs all over the place. Today I woke up feeling kind of like I had the flu and I took my temp. It was 100.6!! The problem here is that if it goes to 101 I have to go to the hospital. The reason for this is that the chemo has beaten off all of my white blood cells so I am unable to fight against infection. After all this time I really didn’t want to go to the hospital nor do I want to have to skip my treatment on Friday so  I am putting down as much over the counter medicine as I can and watching the temperature.

Right now its dropped to 98.8 so I am OK.

Let's keep our fingers crossed that it does not flare up on or before Friday. I doubt they would let me take a treatment if I had a fever.

That’s the latest update from here…we now resume our regularly scheduled programming J

Peace and Love

John
