    I didn't see this...sorry!!

    I heard from Joe..he had a bad reaction to his new antibiotic which threw his blood numbers off, and they have to do more tests now.

    He says, "Now I am in recovery mode and will pull through this."

    So he is on the mend...Thank God!!

    We love you Joe!! Take care of yourself!!!!

    Woofs to Storm!!!
    Hugs to YOU!!

    Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts and prayers of hope and strength. I’ve certainly had a rough 10 days.

    It started with me developing a fever and chills, which I thought was a simple flu or nasty cold. However, on Friday last I developed a severe rash causing me to seek medical advice. I was diagnosed with serum sickness, which is a type of allergic reaction. In my case I had a reaction to a sulfur antibiotic that I had started about two weeks previous. I never knew this, but allergic reactions to drugs can be delayed. This was my first round of troubles.

    Shortly after getting out of the hospital for that, I began to suffer extreme weakness and had to return to hospital. My red blood cell numbers have fallen quite low and I’ve become severely anemic. I am afraid that my battle with my blood disease is not going that well. My neutrophil counts are also extremely low.

    I think someone said that bad things come in threes and I can attest to that. After getting the bad news about my blood situation, I came home only to awaken the next morning with a swollen leg and a lot of pain. I had to go back to hospital and was told that I had developed phlebitis. I was checked for deep vein thrombosis but that was negative. I’ve been given heparin and other things to try to help me get over my latest problem. But I’m home and I intend to stay here for a while … with Storm by my side.

    Well, I have to go back to couch now and elevate my leg to help lessen the swelling.

    I hope to resume participating in the forum within a few days. I am still weak and feeling bewildered over all the bad luck coming my way. One good thing is that I’ve had time to read and reflect on my life and the world about me. I see a lot of good things and I count all of you as being real positives in this world. You make my sun shine.

    Joe
