I may have spelled that wrong. But they've officially declared me Nutropenic. Which means. That my white blood cell count has dropped so low i'm officially subseptible to infections. If I leave my room. I have to wear a face mask. Anybody who comes into my room has to scrub their hands and put on a mask. Oh great!!!!

Keeping you in my thoughts Jeff -- Just called your cellphone and left you a voicemail.
I asked a nurse friend online what Neutropenic means and the chemo did that to you....hopefully you will be back to normal soon. Also came across:
Dietary guidelines for Neutropenia
(scroll down the page a bit)
Please ask your doctor what we can and can't bring you food-wise. I know you love milkshakes & pizza -- want to be able to bring you comfort foods that will also support your immune system.
Great to visit with you last night. I didn't sleep well and am feeling sinus stuff going on so I am going to have to pass on visiting today.
Hope you are having a better afternoon and I will try to visit tomorrow ok buddy?
