I feel like I have missed so much…I have a lot of catching up to do.
I was in the hospital for some kind of virus…I was running fevers over 104 degrees and never felt so sick. Of cause, once you are there they find other things wrong with you. I am very anemic, severely vitamin B-12 deficient and have low potassium. While there my white blood count kept dropping as did my platelets and I came close to having blood transfusions. My white blood count and platelets are now back to normal. I am taking folic acid and have to go for B-12 shots. I do go see my doctor frequently and do have blood taken all the time so these results are somewhat of a surprise to me and my doctor.
The worst for me though was worrying about Chloe, Summer and my two cats. My daughter was away doing makeup for a horror movie so I had to rely on a friend of mine to go feed them. They were home alone all day and night and it got to the point that I just started crying and wanted to go home and hug them. Poor Summer wouldn’t come out from under the bed and at one point didn’t eat for a whole day. I had my friend buy some dry food to leave out for them (I feed Dr. Harvey’s) so Summer wouldn’t have to go without eating.
To top it all off, my last night at the hospital my daughter was back home, came to see me than went home to get some clothes to stay at my apt. and tripped on the steps and broke her foot. She did manage to make it back to my apt. to feed everyone though…I had to tell her to have her boyfriend take her to the emergency room. She did not want to go. It’s a no brainer…her foot turned black and blue immediately and swelled up and she said she heard it crack. Now she has to go on disability and can’t put any weight on her foot for 12 weeks and the doctor said if her bone shifts, she will need surgery!
It’s been a fun week and a half!
