I may be down but I can still type - too bad for you!

Welcome to the town of AssKicked - population: me.
 
In keeping with the results, I will spend the next 5 minutes of the e-mail groaning.
 
I am currently neutropenic - I have no immune system (Neutralphils are 0).  I had to get an infusion of platets as I dropped below 10.  I am hovering on the edge of getting a transfusion of red blood cells (currently 79) but have remained the same for 3 days.
 
These are the bad days - I should be better in about 5 days.  Thanks for all the well wishes, and offers to visit but I am not looking for any guests until Friday at the earliest,
 
I will probably be in the hospital for the weekend and if I am lucky, I will be out by the 30th or so.
 
The nurses and staff and the patients for that matter are all great.  The only issues are that you get poked and prodded constantly when you are asleep so to get 3 - 4 straight hours is a rare and precious commodity.
 
Short and sweet as I should go puke or give blood or something.
 
All the best,
Rob
