Time to see the phlebotomist for my CBC with Platelets and Differentials. We're checking to see if my white blood cells are doing well. Gotta have them to fight off any infections that might come my way.
I got my package of Breathe Healthy masks. I ordered two. I'll only probably use them at the phlebotomist, because that place is busy no matter what time of day, and if the last two times there are any indication, the joint is full of sick people. ;)
We're on radiation 15 today. I ate some of the lovely Mu Gu Gai Pan yesterday, and then I had a Lindor Truffle, the 60% extra dark chocolate one. Oh holy moses on a muffin, those puppies are frighteningly scrumptious. I think they have been put on earth as a test of one's ability to resist eating the entire bag at one sitting. I did resist, but it was touch and go for a while.
Well, I had better go drink a couple glasses of water so that the blood flows well for the... wait for it.... PHLEBOTOMIST!
BTW, my oldest niece is becoming certified as one; I'm very proud of her. :)

Geeze girl I cannot even begin to imagine going thru all that stuff every day. I guess you just have to be optimistic and try to keep your spirits up. I am sure attitude has a lot to do with healing, that and good chocolate ;)
