Isolated...

Hey all

Well I got the results back and I showed positive for the Para influenza. What does this mean? I have a simple cold, the kind that might slow you down but doesn’t keep you from work. But for someone with 0 WBC it can be dangerous. Currently my symptoms are usual, sniffly nose and a cough.

But today happens to be the same day I start my Neupogin shots to start my bloods cells on the growing track. I will get these shots for about 10 to 15 days daily. They usually don’t start working till about day 5 to 10.

To day they are still keeping me in isolation, no walking and minimal visitors. My parents are here of course but have to wear a mask the whole time. NO visitors, that you have been exposed to someone who is sick or if you think you MIGHT be coming down with something but are not symptomatic. So I am making a general rule for another day (Monday) without guests. Just to be on the safe side. I’m told people shed the bug 3 days before they show symptoms.

To be honest I don’t know how long this will lasts. they do have me on broad-spectrum meds to help with symptoms and so far I am told. They will monitor my vitals and look for changes.
Ill rest and drink plenty of fluids and rest a lot.

Whenever my vitals are taken everything looks good, heart, lungs, 02 take up, and just a slight fever of 99 to 100. Like all colds there is not much one can do just let a cold runs its course.

please help me pray that my Neupogin shots start to work fast and build my white cells which will help to fight off what I have

I need to have patience with my body and go slowly in my mind. My practice is staying present to the moment of getting rest and sleeping and drinking lots of water and also of course accepting the Neupogin shots as part of the getting well ceremony.

So if you want to connect, send calls and cards and I hope that within a few days I will feel better.

Summer colds sucks!!!

White Blood cells are good. Let’s focus the yummie White Blood cells comin’ back to my body.

Ill keep you all posted. Big LOVE and even bigger prayers to each and every one of you.

Namaste
Victoria
