*Asking For Support*

Saw the doctor and she wants me in the cancer center Monday and Tuesday so my birthday trip is out. My blood is stable but she wants to give me more of my regular meds through an IV for two days.

As for my stomach pains, I found out I wasn't crazy. I have a colitis and have been scheduled to see a doctor who specializes in that. I' a little depressed that I can't go but happy that I now know why I have been in so much pain.

I try to make my birthday something fun even I am gonna been leashed to an IV again.
 
Do the best you can, and still have fun for your birthday!!

Gonna do my best. I know my family will do what they can to make it better. My twin and I can do something together. Last night I came home and turned on my radio. The song was 'It's my life" Bon jovi. I couldn't help it. I started to cry when that line came up "I just want to live while I am alive."

I have heard, watched and been seen. But I have never felt or touched. Not sure if that will make sense to anyone. Guess it just feels like someone just put me in my cage again. Just hope I find a way out.

I will let you guys know if anything changes.
 
Sweet lady you have been in my prayers so often now.....I am thinking of you happy and smiling and care free.:rose:

Better news, hate the leash thing too, its worth it in the long run. Glad you finally got a diagnosis on the pain. It is so much better knowing that you aren't crazy and what you keep telling them is actually something real. HUGS, keep on the positive side:rose::rose:
 
hang in there, girlie. prayer is a powerful intervention and you have so many in your corner. ~ blessings.
 
I'm sorry to hear that. I will keep you in my thoughts and hope you get better.
 
For your birthday I went out and got you a Birthday Raincheck.
Don't you worry about the time you're spending getting better, you're birthday will be waiting when you can walk out into the sun and get it.
:rose::rose::rose:

(My Grandmother did that for me once long ago when I was sick on my birthday. It didn't quite make it better but it did make it not quite so bad.)

Sunshine, blessings, strength, and hope.

Thank you. That warms my heart.
 
We have talked a couple of times, but you will be in my prayers and I am hoping things will be better then expected..
 
First of the two treatments begin tomorrow. Looking forward to getting better.
 
Treatment went well. Just have tomorrow to deal with and I am done with this...hopefully. Still need to deal with stomach issue but the pain is better. Counting my blessings and the good people who helped me stay sane through this.
 
I am happy your treatment went well today...I am praying for you moving forward...

May God Bless you with healing, comfort, compassion and peace...

So happy things went well today, you made it through today you can make it through the next one. Always positive thoughts and prayers for you. You only have to worry about today and today is a great day. :rose:
 
Just woke up. Slept most of the afternoon and night thanks to yesterdays activities. My twin was nice enough to make sure I could have some peace and quiet. I am officially 33 years old.

Not sure if anyone here knows anything about platelets but mine have dropped to 98. Is that normal?

My understanding is that 150 and over is normal so its a bit low, some procedures can not be done under 80, surgery not under 50, and transfusions are usually done around 15.

You need them to clot, the more you have the faster you can clot usually. My platelets are slow, I have them they just don't like to go where they are supposed to for a while. Bruising can be spectacular at times. Ice and Arnica gel seem to help.
 
Not doing so well tonight. In alot of pain. My main appointment is tomorrow for the doctor to find out what they will do with me. Medication I am on has some wicked side effects that are making sleep damn near impossible. Trying to stay positive.
