I just wanted to give an update since last week. I went to the hospital Monday and my counts are doing what they’re supposed to do so the doctor didn’t seem concerned about any of the other issues I am having. As far as all of the nausea, she gave me something for that which has helped a little. It’s definitely made it better but I’m still having issues with it. The other thing that has been going on is that my temperature is running a little higher than normal. I’ve had temperatures in the 99s for two weeks now, mixed with normal temps. In hospital terms, they don’t care about that until you go over 100.4. So again, the doctor wasn’t concerned but it is really bothering me. After seeing that my other counts were normal on Monday, I am relieved, but the temperatures bother me for obvious reasons – horrible flashbacks of the liver infection.

I have a routine biopsy in two weeks and I am actually looking forward to it. I’m settling in to living with the anxiety at this point, something I must get used to. I think the hardest thing is needing the constant reassurance.

I wish I had more to report. I appreciate all of the encouragement and I love the football metaphors. I’m still very much in this game and doing the best I can.
