Chemo makes things complicated...

Yesterday I was feeling punky.... eventually we took my temp and it was 101. We are under strict instructions from the oncologist to call for any temp over 100 ---

Since it was a weekend, we ended up in the ER.

The good news is that Tylenol brought my temp down -- and I have an infection they can cure with antibiotics -- SO -- I didn't have to spend the night.

Also, my white-cell count was fine -- YEA.

The ER - yuck. I'm glad that Tylenol brought your temp down and that you didn't end up having to spend the night!

I hope that you're feeling better today!

I'm glad you didn't have to stay and that your white cells are hanging in there.

Sorry you had to spend any time in the er though.
