Finally Walking Around
Today when I woke up I was officially tired of being on bed rest. It wasn't doing anything for me mentally and my bum was hurting really bad. My nurse came in at 9:00 am and told me that my next dose of Methyl Prednisolone (IV Steroid) was due at 10:00 am. I decided to get up, shower, put on my jazzy night gown, and go for a walk around my floor.All of the moving and walking that I have done this morning had made me dizzy. I was very light headed and was seeing things floating in front of my eyes. I did not want that to keep me from taking a walk and exploring my floor.
The Doctor Comes In With Some News
It seems to me that I do not only have 1 Hematologist...I have a team of Hematologists that were obviously trained with proper bedside manners. My Hematologist for the day came in and introduced himself to both me and my mom and then took a seat right in front of me. Here comes the good news...He was very impressed with the increase in my platelet count after the second treatment of IVIG. He ordered a third treatment that they will begin shortly and then...I GET TO GO HOME! I will either be sent home this evening or I will be sent home in the morning. I will come back this week before my Graduation Party and then I will go and see my outpatient Hematologist next week before I walk across the stage!
