The surprises keep coming.

Well it's Sunday and I'm sitting in the hospital again. We made a trip to the ER yesterday because my arm looked a bit infected and the doctors thought it was enough to justify admission. A few days of high crank IV antibiotics then a couple of weeks of additional antibiotics at home should eliminate the problem.

Apparently my old attitude of letting things work out on their own isn't going to cut it these days. Gone are the days of trying to overcome salmonella poisoning with shear will power alone. (No, I didn't overcome it that way. Yes, my Mommy had to take me to a doctor) With the compromised immune system, any infection or sickness can get very serious very quickly.

On a side note, the bone pain is gone, the blood counts are coming back, and I waxed half a pizza last night with Clark.

Should be home early next week. Let's keep our fingers crossed nothing new comes up between now and the next treatment. On second thought, new is OK, surprisingly shocking, painful, or utterly inconvenient is a different story.
