And you probably didn't know I was in it. On Tuesday, my temperature spiked to 101.5 and I was concerned that my wbc count was going down rather than up so I ended up going to MSKCC's urgent care center. There they checked my wbc count and it actually was up a bit to 1200 but they were concerned about the fever as it could indicate some kind of infection so, after consulting w/Dr. I, they decided to keep me for a while and run some blood cultures to see if there was anything going on biological-wise. Other than my temperature being all over the place, I felt pretty good so I wasn't thrilled w/being admitted to the hospital but I figured it was the best way to get well enough for chemo this coming Monday. Wed was pretty boring but I was still running a fever and Thursday was similar. By Thursday, they had run the complete blood cultures and they were negative and my wbc count was up to 2200 but I was still having some small fevers so they decided to keep me until Saturday. Luckily, today the doctor decided to let me go, since I was doing so well, as long as I promised to come back if any more problems occurred. So here I am, home :)
