The End of Day 20

Today I felt better than yesterday. As I like to say, each day the lid on my bowl lifts a litter higher.

I had my blood test this afternoon and they felt my hemoglobin count was getting too low. It had not exceeded the lower boundaries, but they wanted to do something BEFORE it went down too far.

They gave me a shot of something called Aranesp. Where do drug companies come up with these names? Anywho, it is supposed to raise my hemoglobin count. I get one shot a week for four weeks and the two more two weeks apart. I am hopeful it will fill me with more energy.

Tonight I was feeling rather tired, but wondered if I REALLY felt tired or was influence by the blood test that made me THINK I felt tired. Perhaps I’m putting a little too much into this.

Sunday I head up to North Jersey for three days of on-site, bill paying work.
