July 12 Final Update

I went into the office late and did pretty well. I stayed the whole day. Moving around proved to be problematic as it very quickly tired me out. So I moved as little as possible.

My taste buds continue their very slow recovery. Some foods I want to eat still don’t taste that well, but I’m able to get them down.

I have a pretty tight schedule over the next couple of weeks. This Saturday I’m driving to North Jersey and expect to be there through July 20. Then I have appointments July 24 and 25.

I do have a concern. I’m going for my blood test this Friday. My worry is, if my white cell count is very low, them my whole schedule unravels. That would not be a good thing. The reason I bring this up is that I have a feeling inside my mouth that I recall having when my white cell count was down to 1,000.

When I did my chemo, my white cell count was 20,000 and I had the Neulasta. So I started with a high count and got re-enforcements. But, the chemo may still have overcome everything. I sure hope not.

On the photography front, the toys for my camera arrived today. They look just like the photos on eBay. So far, they are exactly as advertised. Unfortunately, it’ll be about 10 days before I get a chance to play with them. I’m hoping the Vorlon Wife and I can go to the shore July 22.
