Tuesday night I got myself a fever.
Nothing huge but it made for a lousy night and a tough Wednesday.
One nice thing happened on Wednesday.
I had an appointment with my fabulous, talented, and very kind Nail Tech Grace (Nails by Grace in Edina).
Not supposed to do manicures/pedicures so I had to get my polygel removed.
It was nice to see Grace (as always) and we did one last shade of blue polish (regular polish is allowed) to get me through the election.
I will miss Grace and look forward to whenever it is in 2025 that I can go back to getting my amazing polygel manicures.
Because Wednesday was so hard my friend Bradley drove me to my shot appointment today.
I was feeling a bit better this morning but it was really nice to have the company.
After I got home Lenny and I had a quiet day mostly sleeping today.
Today was Day Four of Seven Days of Shots so I’m over the half way point for this first cycle of shots.
I’m up to full strength on the daily chemo pills I’m taking as well.
And the platelet infusion from Tuesday totally helped, way less bleeding/bruising at the injections sites from Wednesday and today.
OH and the really fun thing…the pooled blood in my forehead from Monday’s event with the medicine cabinet door, remember that blood?
Well that blood is settling down around my eyes now.
If I was a Halloween person I could really have made something of the big purple lump on my forehead and my black eyes.
Filling In the Facts: So for any of you I’ve failed to fill in. After all the testing and the waiting, on October 21st I finally got an official diagnosis.
“High Risk MDS with Excess Blasts”
Note that if you google that it looks pretty shitty BUT being reasonably young and reasonably healthy we are taking the aggressive route to beat it.
Okay, it actually is pretty shitty but I can beat it.
