Smashed peas again !!! 
Temperature spikes from Chemo are life threatening, so you do need to be careful here. Iām sure youāve been given the lecture

Just was told that by a small group doctors and trainees, I could be there till my white blood cells rebuild which isnāt until after the 10th.

Jeez Pete, so much sh*t youāre enduring. Feck me ā¦
I seem to be having the opposite going on. I have high blood plateletes, but it doesnāt seem to be doing much so far. But my last blood test showed high white blood cells. I wish I could give you some.
I have an appointment with the blood specialist again in October, so weāll see.
Maybe this is just the '70s catching up with me ā¦

I think our past is catching up with all of us, Iāve been prodded, poked and punctured since around 9am morning. It looks like they wonāt let me out until they know what caused the temperature spike.
Have you been diagnosed with anything yet?

Iām being transferred to a larger hospital by ambulance tomorrow for some tests and scans they still seemed a little concerned. If all ok theyāll bring me back for observation for 48 hours before letting me go home.

I know Iāve had a pretty depressing afternoon touching on conversations I wasnāt expecting. But onward and upward.

If taking you to bigger hospital means better/different diagnostic equipment and expertise that is a good thing, even if the hospital may be more impersonal. Just to lighten your mood you could ask the ambulance crew to put on the blue lights snd siren rather than just drive thereā¦
My thoughts remain with you.

This is not where we all hoped you would be this week.
Letās hope that the Scans and tests find nothing sinister and youāre home by Friday 
Take care mate and trust in the doctors. Theyāve done great so far.
Youāll be right mateā¦
