Today's good news is that I woke up feeling better after sleeping well most of the night. Also my neutrophil count is 0.08. I'm excited to see that's going in the right direction again.
I'm still on oxygen and still running a fever, but overall have to say I think I'm improving.
Becky! What a wonderful thing for me to read right now! I needed some cheering up, dear, and knowing that you are getting better is the perfect medicine! Is your fever low grade? Those take forever to come down. Glad the breathing is better. My lung infection was called Boop, and they gave me prednisone, and that restored my health when the antibiotics were not working. I went home on the oxygen and prednisone, but then after a while, I was released from all meds and back to my old self! I know you are going to be back to your self soon too!!!!!!!! big hugs, Joanie
Becky, Have been on the road all week, but I've checked in on you every day. Crazy hotel internet service wouldn't let me send email, but I've been in Memphis, Birmingham, and today in Nashville. I see that moving my base for thoughts and prayers closer has had a positive effect! Keep up the good work. I'm thrilled with your good news and progress. ~ Cora
Just checking in on you Becky! Hope you are having a restful day. Miss your posts very much, but know you need to concentrate on getting rest. Sending prayers, and {hugs}.
Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.
I don't like to say that my kitchen is a religious place, but I would say that if I were a voodoo priestess, I would conduct my rituals there. -- Pearl Bailey Ponder well on this point: the pleasant hours of our life are all connected by a more or less tangible link, with some memory of the table. -- Charles Pierre Monselet, French author (1825-1888).
The ordinary arts we practice every day at home are of more importance to the soul than their simplicity might suggest. --Sir Thomas More You can have anything you want in life if you dress for it. --Edith Head A dinner chosen according to one's needs, tastes, and moods, well prepared and well served, is a joy to all senses and an impelling incentive to sound sleep, good health, and long life. Therefore, at least once a day, preferably in the quiet cool of the evening, one should throw all care to the winds, relax completely, and dine leisurely and well. --Count Arnaud Cazenave
Welcome to my blog. I love to cook. I love to garden. I collect art deco. And my camera is like Karl Malden's American Express card. I don't leave home without it. Most of my photographs are of food, dishes, our farm & our travels.
In June of 2005 I was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome, a disease where the DNA of the bone marrow gets messed up & stops producing blood cells. 18 July 2009 I had a bone marrow transplant. Currently I am still under treatment. I have had some dysplasia show up again in one of my cell lines and have begun a new round of chemotherapy. Mainly I try to focus on the positive.
Blogging lets me keep my family up to date & lets me share recipes, photographs & my love of cooking and dishes. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy posting.
