[Guest guest]

wednesday nine weeks and 1 solitary daywell the good news is that the Neupogen is working and my white cell count is up from 0.3 to 0.8 normal is 1-4, the bad news is that haematology couldn't be bothered to even come and see me but phoned the ward to say it should be over 1 before I can leave, and the worst news is that I have the nurse from hell all afternoon!

I just cheered myself up with sushi from downstairs (although the canteen food here has been voted the worst food in brisbane by the family, and we know our hospital food), but it didn't really work very well. The nurses are steering clear of me at the moment. They've seen me in pain, they've seen me sick, they've even seen me cry but now they've seen me cranky!!!!

Oh well, the good news is that with no neutrophils there is no rejection (so far as I understand) so I have been taken off almost all my drugs for a few days!!!Sorry for the rant and ravePenny T
