Wednesday I knew my counts were going to be low. My nose was trying to bleed all day. It would get stopped but as soon as I got up and started moving around, it would start again. When I woke up Thursday to go get counts, I had sores on my lip. I am usually a lip biter, but I made a serious attempt Wednesday to not bite it, because I knew I didn't have many platelets.
It was no surprise when they came back 3k yesterday. I called Dr. M and he said to do 3 days of dex, since I was being symptomatic. So I started on it yesterday at lunch. Since my nose was still really acting up, Jimmy and I decided it was better for him to stay home from work. He put me on "bedrest" and would fuss at me if I got up to do more than go to the bathroom. I needed to go grocery shopping and he went and did that for me. He also fixed dinner. By the end of the night, my nose had completely stopped bleeding. I am so thankful he was able to step up and be there for me and give me a chance to heal.
