Just another average day in Bad Heilbrunn, Not a lot has happened, but I thought I'd post an update anyway.
My white cell count was only 1.3 today, so I have had a shot of GCSF this morning.
I'm to have Neumega tomorrow and possibly the next day. Platelet count today after yesterday's transfusion is 44.
I just got back from a very brisk 6km walk. I feel really good! It was basically the same walk Sarah and I did on Day 14 of the first cycle. Only this time I didn't need to stop for a rest. In fact I felt like I wanted to break into a run on the downhill sections!.
That really surprised me because my red cell count is quite low. I figured that was why they were going to give me whole blood today. However some more research tells me that when Neumega kick-starts platelet production, there is a corresponding drop in red cells.
Non-computer/techie people can stop reading here.

I stayed up late last night doing computer stuff.. I got this idea in my head about running the Linux operating system from a USB flashdrive. I went hunting on the Internet and found a website that specialises in doing just that. The benefits are that you can plug your USB drive into anyone's computer, turn it on and it loads an alternative operating system. All your bookmarks, favorites, passwords and documents are right there as if it were your own PC. There is no access to the hard-drive of the host computer at all. There's no chance of picking up a nasty virus from the host machine as they can't run on a Linux system.
All run from a thumb-drive. Beats lugging a laptop around!
And it's much faster and better looking than windows.. oh and it's a free!
