Nick C Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Don't PO the nurses too much...Hang in there pal. Can all those IVs be mobile so you can achieve a compromise? Sorry, just don't know?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mary colleen Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Aaron, Try to achieve the middle ground between doing want you want to do, and doing what you need to do to get well and get out of there. Your bone marrow is just worn out from the continued assault on it, but that same assault is hitting your cancer cells. Keep us posted. Let's get you out of there. mc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Why don't you drag the pole with you to the rec room (assuming your IV bag is on a movable pole)? They are going to make you do so many bags of whatever your antibiotic is fever or not- so you may as well get as much in you as fast as you can. The low white blood count is pretty common when you start chemo-- it's a good thing you got in before it turned into full blown pneumonia. Sorry Aaron--hospitals are no fun.

ursol Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 aaron, sorry to hear about all this. Praying that you get better fast and get to go home soon. Lilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryanne Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Aaron, Hurry and get better, but you have to do what you have to do which I know is no picnic. I guess I could understand you being a bit of a rebel there being 27 years old. Taking risky chances is the makeup for your age. If your IV is not connected to a pole, ask them if they could give you one that could be. Therefore you could get around. Unless they want you on complete bed rest. I hope you get out of Dodge and return home soon. But meanwhile, be a good boy and listen to what the doctors prescribe as they know what they are doing. Hang in there, you will be home before you know it. BE GOOD!!! Maryanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyogirl Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Hope you get better soon, Aaron! Be a good patient! J/K Seriously, do what you have to to get better and go home. Hospitals do indeed suck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don M Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I hope you get out of there soon Aaron. Just ask about dragging the bag around with you. You could prowl the halls of the entire facility and go on a people watching tour. You could go sit at the information desk and wait for people to ask you questions. I suppose the nurse would want to be able to see you every half hour or so. Don M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welthy Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Aaron, Oh Poop! I was hoping you wouldn't get stuck in the hospital. Why aren't they giving you Neulasta or something along those lines to beef up that white count??? I know there is a timetable with Neulasta, but surely they can give you Neupagen(sp?). Geez, I hate it that you are immobile. If you do go running around, remember: Keep your hands off your face... Keep your hands off your face... Keep your hands off your face... (There's cooties in dem dere haspitols!) Get well soon!! Welthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spicysashimi Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 They say I will probably be going home tomorrow morning. My WBCs and Nutraphils are almost there. I also got unhooked and relaxed on the terrace with my girlfriend, sister and friend. Things are looking up. Thanks everybody. It was good to be connected to lchelp throughout this. aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
