I was blessed to sleep yesterday, my body just did that on its own thank goodness. From what I understand in the middle of each cycle that is when my blood cells (the white ones) will be at their lowest point and at that time I'll start a round of antibiotics or if they are REAL low, I may have to take shot that makes them super reproduce fast. ALso during these times I will feel the worse. I think the kidney thing was starting up just before they discovered how low my blood count was, so the timing was pretty good.Robbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04663210786298674312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28858227.post-91851407862222116232008-07-24T18:31:00.000-07:002008-07-24T18:31:00.000-07:00it's me again :)how wonderful to be able to sleep ...it's me again :)<BR/>how wonderful to be able to sleep that way...I have a terrible problem with sleep in that I don't get much, not nearly enough...you need all the rest you can get so keep on taking those naps. The body heals while asleep. And drink the water too, that kidney thingy sounds like it could get nasty. I am glad you are on an anti-biotic for those things...do you have to be on one for the whole time you have chemo? <BR/><BR/>sweet dreams :)L'Adelaidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10725322054223364858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28858227.post-13949686941329825702008-07-24T10:07:00.000-07:002008-07-24T10:07:00.000-07:00Thanks Tammy, me, Miss Independent would love to h...Thanks Tammy, me, Miss Independent would love to have someone to do all those things. But on the same note when I don't feel good, I like to be alone! I'm eating, I had cottage cheese and some fruit that went down good. And there's always peanut butter on Wasa crackers.Robbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04663210786298674312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28858227.post-80464054900806943222008-07-24T09:29:00.000-07:002008-07-24T09:29:00.000-07:00Sleep is a wonderful healer Robbin so go with it. ...Sleep is a wonderful healer Robbin so go with it.

And you have such a great attitude. Sleep may be the best medication, but attitude rates way up there too.<BR/><BR/>You are always in my thoughts and prayers, and when I start to complain, I'm going to think about your strength and wish I were as strong as you.<BR/><BR/>Get the rest you need.

The story is your cells will reach a low point and then start back reproducing and then I'll start the process already. But even with these last few days I am still so grateful I've not had as bad of a time as it could have been.Robbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04663210786298674312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28858227.post-36433719424199695552008-07-24T07:11:00.000-07:002008-07-24T07:11:00.000-07:00I'm glad you posted.

I'm glad you were able to sleep, and I agree with the Dalai Lama, sleep is the best meditation.<BR/><BR/>Praying for lots and lots of white cells, your little soldiers. I'm glad you feel better today and I'm hoping you continue to improve.
