Saw the doc yesterday


Good news: ALT = 29, AST = 24

Not so good news: WBC = 2000

Even less good news: HBC = 8.7

I know why the WBC is on the low side. I've been sloppy. I've only been getting two shots of Neupogen per week rather than the prescribed three. The hemoglobin at 8.7 explains a lot — like why I'm walking around in a fog. In the appointment Doc said we might raise the Procrit dosage. I called him today and asked whether we couldn't go ahead and raise it. He agreed and I'm now to take it every four days. Hopefully that will bring the hemoglobin back up.

Had a traumatic experience today. We bought our daughter a car for her 18th birthday. It's a 2000 Sentra, but has low miles — only 57,000. We didn't steal it, but didn't get robbed either. I think it was a good deal. It's now parked in a neighbor's back yard. We'll surprise her with it on her birthday.

Wow, Chris, my kids would have loved to had you as a father! Remember that feeling you had when this little girl of yours first crossed the street by herself - well, it will all be forgotten when you watch her drive away in this car!
Hey, I may be going to Phoenix in early December, if I feel up to it, I'll keep you posted.
