So, I actually got some sleep and woke up feeling much more positive! Odd thing was, the numbers did not match how I felt. My blood pressure was something like 68/49, which I really thought meant I died. And my red blood cell count had gone too low. And, I had shortness of breath. So, in between morning chemo, they gave me something to elevate my blood pressure, a chest x-ray and a bag of RBCs.
I was actually, inappropriately excited to get my chest x-ray because it meant leaving the 8th floor! It was not nearly as exciting as I had anticipated. They made me wear a mask that was so tight my glasses fogged up and they took me up and down a back freight elevator. I thought I was going to see out windows and lobby shops and a lot more excitement. . . I even brought my phone in the hopes of posting a good picture or two!
They are dripping in the chemo a little earlier tonight because I will also be getting r-ATG later. This is to really ensure that there are no more rogue T-cells that made it through chemo. The infusion of r-ATG can take 8 hours so they said it will be a busy (possibly uncomfortable) night!
The other great thing today was the start of the new Netflix series, "Dogs". This is not to be watched without a huge box of tissues, but so far Ep1 and Ep2 were amazing! One was about service dogs and the other was about trying to rescue a refugee's Husky out of Syria.
