Here's Cancer/Chemo's version of a math problem:
Neutrapenia + High Fever = Hospital.
On Monday I had a fever spike at 102.7... I've been here at the Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) inpatient unit since then. Not sure how long I'll stay, hopefully I go home tomorrow.
It's very common when your Bone Marrow gets blasted with chemo to have fevers, nobody seems to be overly concerned. Definitely better to safe than sorry. So the hospital it is.
I'd rather be home, but I sit here and work on my laptop, have my meals brought to me, have people clean up after me. I have a great view of the Salt Lake Valley. Not a horrible deal.
