After completing treatment for breast cancer on May 30, 2008, I was diagnosed with leukemia (CML) in July 2008. This blog is my way to keep family and friends updated on what's going on with me and my medical odyssey, as well as how my husband and children are doing. As I write, I expect it will be with some tears, some rage, some awe, lots of hope, and always with my eye on the prize, a cure.

Just Another Busy Day....With Meningitis
Yep, you read it correctly. I am entirely too busy just trying to keep up during my productive hours of the productive days. Then getting caught up from what seems a constant flow of new issues. And yep, the "With Meningitis" is true.
I don't have a clue how I got. But did I! Just hours after I was enjoying appetizers with friends, I was in the hospital. It was that pesky 104.7 fever that clinched that one. And my head and neck. Serious pain. I was so out of it that I don't even remember being taken from the ER to my 7 South (Cancer Floor) room. I do, unfortunately remember the lumbar puncture in the ER (they used my "body art" to guide the needle) and vague recollections of the CT and x-rays.
The next few days were awful. Fevers, pain, huge pain, and lots of vomiting. Then of course I pulled the quick ticket out and came home to do it all some more.
I am somewhat more functioning now but really just don't feel well, despite various and assorted medications and lots of rest. So now I am also frustrated by this. Who is fine one minute then hours later really not fine? Hey, I guess that's just how I roll....
But I did have a great couple of hours at the For No Reason event!
