We arrived home in Beaufort on Saturday the 13th. Following Wednesday we had an appointment at the Raab Clinic. It was great to see everyone there, and it was so nice to be back in our own bed, with familiar surroundings. Walked downtown and saw a bunch of people, it was such a relief to be back home.
On the 24th we went back to Duke for a follow-up visit, and all was well, discussed Bone Marrow Biopsy and things were looking good.
Back home that night, at three am I woke to a fever of 100.4, chills and tremors. Blew lunch.
( a pastrami sandwich from Elmo's Diner in Durham, and dinner at the Outhouse Steakback in Goldsboro)
Went to Carteret General ER at 4 am, blood numbers dropping. Got a room and have been in for a day and a half. Fever off and on, Blood numbers still dropping. Now it is Friday the 26th and Duke wants me me back so badly they are dispatching a coach to convey me. Will be there by evening. So....the drama unfolds. I will keep all y'all posted.
Cheers,
Chris
