Results are in. Back to be in normal range, but right on the threshold l ie. right at 11.0 billion cells in a liter.
It's my neutrophils that appear to be the culprit - also right on the nose at 7.5 billion, with the range being 1.8-7.5.
@Northind let me know if you need some spare ones :p
 
I was just below the okay level two weeks ago. I'm thinking not. I've been more tired this week. I wouldn't be surprised if I get called in to do more bloodwork before treatment tomorrow. Hopefully not.

Hopefully you'll be fine.

My numbers really make no sense to me. Before things used to all match up HAE attacks, lymph node swelling, high white cell count.
Now though there seems to be no connection between things. White cell count was about 18 last time, I was feeling good.
Today I'm not the best, although far from the worst, my lymph node was behaving today but it has been troublesome this last week. Asthma finally improved but sneezing allergies have been bad the last few nights - taking extra allergy meds because of it. Allergy related white cells? dead center of the range. Only thing that matches better numbers is how my face looks, some puffiness really dropped away the last few days. And then of course it's very infrequent time points, often only done once a year.

I do attribute some of the not everything being connected due to managing my HAE better, every tiny little thing isn't setting it off. I prefer this to the frequent attacks, but it made more sense when it all came together in a clear package.
 
A conversation with hubby (my taxi driver) this morning reminded me of a couple of other things I suspect the health system could improve.

Thing One - Quit scheduling patients from outside the city for the early appointments of the day. We need to leave home four hours before the scheduled time. This often means an overnight stay in the city. Once we did that and met a younger person in the waiting area with a special needs child who was Not Happy. They lived in the city but it was so hard to get the youngster up, ready and transported early in the day. We would have cheerfully exchanged appointment times.

Thing Two - Quit running hospitals to please the staff. I see no logical need to ask patients to report at 6am for a three hour test. They claim it is so they can run two tests a day. Say what?? They have a deficit of hours?

Last day of work before the long weekend. The 24th of May is the Queen's Birthday if we don't get a holiday we will all run away.

May 24 is also my hubby's birthday. As a child his birthday was always spent planting potatoes (unless it was raining). In those days, in this province, kids got time off school to do such things.

Also my mom's birthday - as she's the same age as your hubby she also got the day off from school...and often they did spend the day planting the garden but she also got fireworks at night.
 
Once again glad I don't live on the Prairies; continued wind spooks me. There was a big change in wind this afternoon to go with the temp drop tonight. I brought the most vulnerable stuff inside; the rest is freshly watered under a tented sheet.
