A Weekend Getaway

What a week my family and I have had.
It's been pretty crazy to say the latest.

Luckily, I get to have the weekend to myself and I only have to trek into Sloan for a few routine exams next week.

Ya know, I felt so good about this weekend, I decided to take a trip...

Destination of Choice: Sloan
That's right... Unfortunately I'm spending the weekend admitted at my favorite cancer research center.

"Why Nick?"

Well, currently I'm neutropenic (which is expected after last week's chemo).
Whenever you're neutropenic and you come down with a fever, you need to be admitted for observation and to make sure you don't have an infection of any kind.

So, Friday night I came down with a 102 fever and off to Sloan we went! But don't worry about me. I do the same thing at Sloan that I do at home: Eat, Sleep, Watch TV. It's just new scenery.

Hopefully my white counts come up by Monday and, as long as the fevers go away, I'm outta here!!

But for now, I need to get some rest.

Good night All!
