Unfortunately my white blood cell count is still too high so I am not going home today (Saturday) after all. Apparently my bacterial infection is an unusual one and they are still working on getting the right SWAT team of antibiotics to do the counterattack. That means I don't get out today. Surprisingly, I still feel better today.
Everybody chant now: Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!
7:30 pm
I've had some supper (chicken fingers from the cafeteria) and they seem to be staying down OK.
Anne's appointment is Monday, June 4, at 3 pm with Dr. Petrasek in Peterborough. Stephen will be here that weekend and will drive her. The doctor likes to have a family member there to be a part of the discussion and we can't count on me to be all there in mind even though I might be there in body. In any event, I wouldn't be much help understanding things. We will get the results of her MRI scan then and discuss what the next steps of her treatment will be.
In the meantime I don't know about going home. They come in and take blood about 4 am and then test it so the results are available to the doctors in time for early morning rounds. On Mon to Fri they do rounds at 7 am, weekends at 8. As soon as I know anything and have a chance I'll blog it.
I'm groggy as I am on more drugs than I was a few days ago. They are still being nice to me; even the food ladies are nice in spite of what I have called their food. One of them just found me some lovely grapes that are not even officially in the hospital. They are quite good.
Grogginess is winning. Going to lie down.

Ron
We're all waiting for Sinday! When I read the last line, I had the Revecca Black tune in my head (Stephen will explain that)
ReplyDeleteHi Ron,
ReplyDeleteSunday,Sunday,Sunday,Sunday
Love Karen
I'll have to google Revecca Black.
ReplyDeleteI know Sunday came from God resting on the 7th day. Now Cal has me wondering what he did on the 8th day to produce Sinday. :)
Sorry, I got sidetracked by my humour I forgot to thank Cal and Karen for their comments.
ReplyDeleteKaren and Cal, thank you for your comments.
Cheers
Ron
Sigh... why does Google Comment not have auto-correct like every other system on the planet? Sure, it may underline things but I just expect things to get fixed automatically!
ReplyDeleteHi Ron. I'm in Georgia celebrating my sister's birthday today. I fly home tomorrow, and when I'm up there I'll see if I have a closer connection and will chant today! today! today! Glad you're feeling better. I hope to visit you at home next week.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Joan
