That was basically the only good news of the day. This morning I finally decided to take action against my hair which had been deserting me at an alarming rate. I asked my 'Patient Care Assistant' to get a razor and shave it all off - so now I'm living the cancer survivors dream of a completely bald head. I must say though, tonight as I was roaming the halls I ran into a fellow patient who complemented me on the bald look so at least a complete stranger thinks it looks good.
Most of the day was spent battling a fever. It just did not want to go away. So far no tests have indicated a source for the fever so I just keep taking all kinds of antibiotics and hope for the best. I've also been dealing with a rash that developed around my central line bandage and seems to have spread but we don't know if it's also associated with some of the medicine that I'm taking. Poor Carey thought that she'd have a fun time chatting with me all day but I basically slept the whole time so she was pretty bored.
Hopefully the fever and the rashes will be going away soon and my numbers will continue going up. Who knows, maybe I'll be ready to leave this place early next week!
