Well CMM’s appointment with his oncologist was today. His blood count showed his platelets have dropped to 48k, and in light of that and his severe side effects, they’re taking him off his oral chemo for a week and putting him on some steroids.
Hopefully his platelets will come up and he can go back on the chemo at a lower dose.
Costco online has a great sale on Danskin exercise shorts - $15 for two! - so I stocked up. I have hardly bought any clothes since I cleaned out my closet during the first lockdown, but these were needed. And someday when the pandemic calms down I’ll be able to get back to my gym. Meanwhile I’m just wearing them around the house.
My niece saw a patient. He and his wife went to Vegas. They brought home Covid. Wife was vaccinated, husband was not. Wife is home with mild symptoms. Husband is in the hospital doing poorly but there’s no ECMO available to him (all being used), he’s probably going to die.
Don’t let down your guard, peeps. And get vaccinated.
