Jimmy's regular 60-day tests were today, and I had blood tests, a doctor's appointment and got a Neulasta shot in my abdomen. We arrived at the clinic at 10 o'clock, and all we had done probably didn't take 30 minutes combined, but with the scheduling between appointments, and all the waiting, it consumed most of the day.
As usual, we'll get the results of Jimmy's tests next week, but we expect everything to be fine. My counts haven't started dropping much yet, so except for all the sitting around and waiting, I didn't have too bad a day.
By the way, Neulasta shots boost the white blood counts to help keep patients who are getting strong chemotherapy from contracting severe infections when the white count goes into the "cellar". They do cause bone pain though.
