I'm bored because this is going on my 2nd day in the hospital for neutropenic fever. My wbc counts were alarmingly low so my onc sternly told me that if my temp hits 101 go to the ER and it may be that night -and he was right. That same day while at work it went from 97.4 to 101.3 in a little over an hour. Hopped in the car and a few minutes later in the ER it was 102.7. I didn't feel too bad, just chilled but had I not been carrying a thermometer in my purse at work, who knows how high it would have gone. So now I'm off work (again) for a couple days getting lots of antibiotics IV and a neulasta injection. Can't go home until I have an immune system
Seems to always be something but I'm getting used to it I guess.
I'm sure when I went to my first onc appt. they gave me datasheets on what to eat, etc. but I guess I never really paid attention. While on chemo, no salads, raw veggies and pre-cut fruit, etc. I figured that was for foreign countries! Anway I'm going to be more careful now as I was getting a little irresponsible following doctors orders.
