Jimmy Smith: Wednesday, 22nd July
http://viviennesmith.blogspot.com/2015/07/wednesday-22nd-july.html
Our Multiple Myeloma Meanderings. How it all started. Wednesday, 22nd July. So those little buggers (platelets) are slowly coming up. Jimmy's white blood cell count is at 6.5, this being the highest it has been since he was diagnosed, except of course when he was on Neupogen injections to boost his wbc. His red blood cell count is slightly low and his haemoglobin is now in the normal parameters. Some family photos taken at the Diaz Tavern. A testament as to just how well Jimmy is looking. Lorna and Micky...

Little secrets. My stories. Wanna see? Rescuing isn’t really what we do. This entry was posted on September 23, 2013, in Musings. 8221; A lost child was crying somewhere near our bus stop. My daughter’s head was swiveling. I wanted to keep walking. I didn’t want to get involved. These situations are never what they seem. 8220;We have to save it! Why do humans feel an obligation to save everything we see in trouble? Maybe trouble is a learning experience that the thing in trouble needs to figure out.

Myeloma Hope: 04/01/2015 - 05/01/2015
http://myelomahope.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 27, 2015. Day 6 of Cycle One. Good CBC. As part of my new myeloma regimen, we do a CBC with differential at the end of each of the first three weeks, just before taking the next dose of the Primary Drug. I get that done at the local clinic, with the results sent to Mayo Clinic. I'm not a doctor, but I know what my doctors want to see in the CBC, and by that standard I'm doing great:.

Saturday, August 2, 2014. Today I felt much more like myself, even went for a stroll and mowed a little bit of the lawn. Temps are normal and the pulse oximeter regularly shows numbers in the high 90's. The pneumonia is on the run, and I won't post any more about it here unless there is a dramatic reversal. Links to this post. Friday, August 1, 2014. Right now my temp is generally around normal, which is a definite improvement, and I have some appetite. However, blood oxygen isn't much better than it...

http://viviennesmith.blogspot.com/2015/05/thursday-7th-may.html
Our Multiple Myeloma Meanderings. How it all started. Good morning, says me at 11:45 and still in my pyjamas. I went to the Dr yesterday and have a bad bout of Bronchitis. Suppose this had to happen at some stage or the other.I've been pushing my body for far too long. Jimmy had his bloods done again yesterday and his platelets have now dropped to 17 so he went into the clinic this morning on his way to work to have a platelet transfusion. Hopefully this one kicks in nicely and pushes his count up. Plate...

Jimmy Smith: Friday, 5th June

Our Multiple Myeloma Meanderings. How it all started. Friday, 5th June. I just thought I would let you know that Jimmy went to have his bloods done today and his platelets have dropped further so he needs to go in on Tuesday morning for a bone marrow biopsy. Hopefully this will get to the bottom of where these little buggers are disappearing to. It's still freezing in Cape Town with lots of snow fall on the mountain ranges in the Western Cape and specially in the Eastern Cape, Kwazulu-Natal and Lesotho.
