June 19th through 22nd - More Shots

My white blood count continued to be low so I was in the doctor's office everyday of this week getting a shot to boost it up.  It wasn't that bad as it was time consuming finding the right time to go up to Ogden for the shot because this week I also returned to work and worked about 20 hours this week. The important thing to remember is the white blood cells are your body's defense system against infection and sickness so if they are too low and you get sick, it is a lot worse than just your common cold etc. There was one downside effect from the shots and it is that they make your joints and bones sore as the shots stimulate the growth of white blood cells. I'm happy though that with just a shot they can get the count back up so we can stay on schedule for the treatment.
