I’m going home tomorrow!!
0July 14th, 2010The CT-scan showed my spleen is absolutely fine! They cannot say why I am in pain. The only explanation still seems to be that the Peg Filgrastim booster for my bone marrow on day +1 somehow affected the spleen, and it should recover spontaneously in time.
In the mean time, I have to try and manage the pain with painkillers. I am on a really high dose of Oxycodone which make me ever so drowsy; I cannot keep eyes open, and I will end up sleeping most of the day.
The BIG news is, the doctors said that I can go home tomorrow!! I am SO happy. I will get to sleep in my own bed, have some autonomy, peace and quiet back.
I felt quite emotional when they said I could go home. I had been trying not to think about it to avoid disappointment, and also I had been worried about the spleen. I was delighted to hear the spleen was fine, and that the doctors thought it was safe to send me home. This is it, I have done it!!!
P.S. I asked the dietician about non-peeled fruit, and she said it was fine as long as my neutrophils are 0.5 or above and I wash the fruit thoroughly. That means, I can go back to my usual breakfast, oat porridge with oat milk and loads of berries. I cannot wait.
