Wow, mortality's a bitch!

Very glad you're okay, KSB. Thank goodness you went in when you did.

Did they check your scarlet/gray balance while you were at the hospital? I assume those levels were right on target... :)

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Sorry to hear about it, KSB. Good to know that things are going to be okay.

RACH got it right on the first try? Congratulations. Hope you're feeling better. Snow Hall does strange things to people. There are a couple of 1SGs who work in there with cancer. They will concur with you on the whole mortality thing.

Yeah it's hard to believe. But the doctor that saw me in the ER just had a case of the same thing about four months ago, otherwise......

Scary stuff, KSB, glad you got it taken care of in time.

Did they give you some units of blood?

Nope, They gave a few platelets, that's it. Other than that they gave a large dose of IV/IG, whatever that is, and prednesone (sp?). My body is just responding very well to the treatments. Since Friday my platelets have gone up over 68,000 points to 72,000 and are climbing faster and faster.

Damn; I'm glad to hear you're improving and will be alright. That's some scary shit.

Glad to hear things are looking up. I've been on prednisone before - I'll echo the "get to the grocery store" sentiment. :)

Good to hear things are ok now KSB. Is this something that you'll have to live with or is ir curable?

 

[FCollinsBuckeye]

Glad to hear you're on the mend, KSB!

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

Holy shit, dude! Don't be fuckin' with death. Glad to see you're recovering so well. A little extra-hot garlic kimchi should help get your platelets back up there, atashi...

My type is very curable. I guess there is a chronic variety that will flare up from time to time, but mine is acute and I should be 100% in a month. Hell, with all the steroids I feel 110% now.

Ummmmmm... maybe you'd better stop there, then.

 

[BuckPshrink]

Not the best way to get a week off but if it works......
Hope you get well!!

Either that or burn up the few I have left.
