White blood count

Ann arrived safely at the hospital and she’s already watched a movie with Karen and was giving foot rubs when I called. I didn’t know she knew how to give foot rubs. I know this isn’t about me, but …

Karen’s white blood count is back up. Her catheter is out. Her fever hasn’t spiked again which surprised her doctor. Her energy is high and she just finished doing 'laps' in the room (not walking the halls due to lower energy and infection concerns). “She is doing great” and is surprising the doctors.

Cracks me up, two swimmers talking about doing 'laps' in a hotel room. Finished a 150 today but didn't do any flip turns. The last 25 was a no breather. Wonder if they would wear those funny caps for morning workouts?
