Continuing with my fall mythological creatures. We don’t get much in the line of fall here, so I love to create pictures with fall colors.
Well, the doctor put me on two magnesium pills instead of one and said he’d decide in a week, which would be next Tuesday, if I should be off infusions since they’re for magnesium. Infusions last 2 hours, so I’m hoping I’ll have shorter appts without them. I’m eating better and little by little, getting more strength.
He said they might pull my picc line also since I haven’t needed blood since I left the hospital. There are up and downsides to that. I can get an infection from having it in. I have to wear a plastic sleeve to keep it dry during showers. I have to flush out the three lines every day and sometimes the lines aren’t working. Like yesterday. And no matter what dressing they use on it, my skin is so sensitive, it’s red and irritated from the dressings and often when they pull off the old one, I end up bleeding in spots.
But it’s great for giving blood. My veins are tiny and roll when they try to stick me so I’m not looking forward to doing that twice a week.
I have around 6,000 words to go on Wolfish! And did the beta edits on Tashama. I’ll be rereading it one more time and then publish it. 🙂

Doesn’t it look like an old-time picture? I created it with a woodland background, dragon, and three autumn overlays to give it that tone.
More good news! The DNA results came back and it shows that my blood cells are all the donor’s–100% myeloid and T-cells. Which means my wonky cells no longer exist and are producing cancerous cells. Woohoo!
I’m off to write. Have a super productive and fun day!
They are both going after the seeds that were scattered by other birds on the feeder.
Well, the good news is that we have another 3-day weekend from drs appts.
The bad news is I went to reorder a pill they want me to take. For a 28-day supply, it was $13,760. So I need to ask them about that tomorrow at my appt.
The good news is that my CT scan for my lungs came out clear. I just have some scarring from the pneumonia in my left lung.
I managed to write 3,000 words yesterday also. Almost to the halfway point on Wolfish!
We’re off today, forgot to put out the trash. I’m off to write some more.
I only got 1,000 words written on Wolfish, but I had great medical news.
For the first time in over two years, my white blood cell count is normal! Platelets are normal! And Neutrophils are normal.
Red blood cells are slower to recover so they’re still low and can cause fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. Which I have. It makes me feel better knowing what the problem is that I feel these things when walking. Also hemoglobin is low. It will take time for the red blood cells to build back up.
Oh, and the bone marrow biopsy came back normal! So no new cancer cells! Still waiting on the DNA results.
We’re off to a CT scan this morning to see how my lungs are after having pneumonia and other doctor appointments.
