I get to the clinic, check in, they draw my blood and send me to infusion for my check up.  As I was sitting there, I started getting really warm.  I noticed I wasn't feeling very well.  The nurse stopped by, looked at me and said "Matt, you don't look too good, are you feeling okay?"  I muttered I didn't feel well at all.  She took my temperature 100.7, my blood pressure 65/50.  Yikes.  They started an IV on me, saline, administered hydrochortisone, and took more blood samples.  My blood pressure was taken again 97/60, and my temperature was 98.3.  I was directed to drink plenty of fluids, take tylenol, rest and stop in tomorrow after my scans for another check up.  I noticed I am getting congested, probably a cold.  I don't want to catch one at this point.  Grrrrrr.  My platelets have fallen to 54.  Very low.  I need to get back up to around 100.
