My joy today was receiving my 4th of 6 TCH infusions! Past the half way mark! The dietician wandered by and told me I needed to gain weight and instead of the low fat stuff that I keep buying (old habits die hard!) she said in addition to drinking Ensure I should be putting Haggan Daz in it for milkshakes! Welll, a few minutes later a drug rep who was trying to curry favor there, came along with a freeze container giving away Haggan Daz chocolate covered ice cream bars!!! lol I told him he must be a gift from God. He said he was God's rep on earth. (More like a drug rep on earth! lol) Then a differernt rep brought Jamba Juice smoothies!! Boy, Wed is a much better day than Tues (my regular day) around there!
My white count is in the low normal range. Very low. But still normal
So, a good day all in all.
And I am recovering from the joy of several days of visits from friends who cared enough to fly here to see me. I am blessed.
