The surgery has officially been rescheduled to, tentatively, August 8. 😮💨 Depending on blood tests.
Having bloods redone Saturday, but ENT guy agrees with rheumy, neutrophils too low for surgery. 🫣
My arthritis meds have been stopped too, so I'm likely to have a rough few weeks.😕
The saga continues. Just got my blood test results. Neutrophils are still low.
As I write, I have no idea if #surgery will go ahead or not.
Letter from ENT says, in part: "Ms D's chronic sinusitis symptoms are significant potential risk of disease extension to the orbit and brain

Blood test done. Results Monday.
I'm a bit emotionally fragile. I cried driving home. Sometimes doing all this fighting diseases completely alone is draining. Every now & then it would be nice to have someone hold my hand.
It is what it is, though.
OK, that's enough openness for today.

So I'm sitting here waiting for the specialists to make the call.
Risk of infection with surgery versus risk of brain issues if surgery is delayed.
I wish I wasn't sitting at home alone, frankly.

I'm a bit scared. One of my blood tests (not sure which one) is a bit low for protecting me from infection during & post my surgery next week, so my rheumatologist has taken me off my two magic meds temporarily.
No idea how my inflammatory arthritic conditions will react to that! 🧵1
