#ChronicIllness
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.

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
