Today is my 6 month anniversary of my bone marrow transplant! woo yay! ;D
My PICC line decided to celebrate by getting me a really nasty infection! boo hiss! >
So after four bouts of fever (38.8C today!!), violent rigors, and chills in the past week, they admitted me again today after they grew some horrible nasty culture from inside the line itself. But the up side is that my new immune system has been awesome at getting rid of it in a few hours, so I should hopefully only be in for the weekend. I'm typing this in my room now waiting for them to rip the line out....
Not really how I wanted to celebrate today.
(oh and my blood counts yesterday were all in the normal range. And reporting me as B+ again, ha! So clearly I've still got some old lymphocytes floating around still.)
