Woke up this morning to daylight savings time in Puebla  and couldn’t figure out why the hometown time was still an hour ahead!  We go back next Sunday morning so I will gain two extra hours of sleep!  WOW

Got another shot of filigrastam today and had blood drawn!  I think they are vampires down here.  Well I am the only one in the group that is still neutropenic so I still have to continue with the shots. The doc says I should be in the clear by Tuesday, next blood draw. My numbers this time were 2400 white blood cells(need to be over 4000), platelets 100,000, hemoglobin 10.1, pulse ox 96, temp 36.6, and blood pressure 118/84.

I ordered my six month supply of both bactrim and aciclovir plus a years supply of the rituxin.  If I can’t find a doctor to prescribe and give the rituxin maybe I can learn how to give myself an infusion?!?!   This all totals to about $3000 pesos.  There is only two in the group that has not found someone to do the infusions in the states. Two their PCP will do it and the other one has a nurse friend that will do hers!  Keep your fingers crossed that I have some luck after I get home and start calling again before I have to have my first infusion in January.

With all the extra meds I have to bring back, I may have to leave a lot of stuff here. As long as I can get my clothes and electronics back, I can always replace the non-essentials in the states.  Maybe I should have brought an extra suitcase. Hindsight is always 20/20!

I have had good days and not so good days with my MonSter but the days seem to all be better than before I flew down here!  It has all been worth it as far as I am concerned!  Thanks to everyone for your help!

Until later, this day is done!!
