Woke up very weak and tired. Not really able to stay awake. Emotionally crushed to be feeling his way. I’m supposed to start feeling better! Went in to see Dr. Trillo as planned. My bloodwork looks good; the white count’s back up above 8, and my hemoglobin looks good (at 12.1 I think I saw). He’s concerned about the white plaques in my mouth (thrush) and also some of the yellow tinge to my salivary secretions (bacterial infection). So he put me on amoxicillin and fluconazole via PEG tube. He also suggested I get some fluids and get started with the antibiotics IV. Worked for me, so I stayed for a few hours to get all my fluids and drugs. Towards the end of my therapy, I put on a special dry heaving, mucus vomiting show. Had a hard time stopping it, but eventually did and ended up with yet another antinauseant at my disposal. Spent the rest of the evening in bed coming in and out of sleep. Did “eat” a little right before bed, so I could get the anti-fungal in me. Felt a little better in the evening and hoping for better tomorrow. 🙂
