I have been home for a week now and am still recovering well. My doctor has already decided to only have me come in twice a week instead of 3 times. I still have almost no taste and I have very little energy. Recovery is a long road. Hopefully some parts of it will get easier as my taste comes back and I can eat more solid foods. Hopefully I catch a financial break soon because all the bills really add up.

Yesterday’s blood counts:

White blood cells: 2.0

Hemoglobin: 10.1

Platelets: 92
