Unusual day time post, second in the day. Had a follow up with my oncologist. I talked of the sleep and how tired I was. Turns out my red and white blood cell counts have plunged into near dangerous territory. There may be positive ramifications of this. One is that the chemo has finally achieved the levels necessary to do some serious damage to the cancer. The other is that I am now more prone than ever to a serious infection from virtually any source. So much so that I can no longer eat fresh vegetables and salads.

The other aspect is that my whiney post earlier this morning may well be blamed on the blood situation. I generally feel like a wet towel left on the floor. I have slept most of the day and will go to bed in a few minutes. Sleep is the golden remedy right now. Somehow you cannot get a full head of steam going if your blood count is so low that normal activity is out of the question.

I have a watermelon in the refrigerator that should be ripe and very cold. I will slice into that before I got bed. I love watermelon and it is calling me.
