I just got my morning counts back.  Dig this.  My white cells jumped frmo 1.2 
yesterday to 4.4 today.  That, my friends, is in the nomral range.  My 
platelets went up by themselves, no transfusion of platelets, from 11 
yesterday to 18 today, still way below normal, but they are not expected to 
begin production this fast.  I have yet to talk to the docs on their rounds, 
but will supply their feedback asap.

My throat pain has totally gone away, and only have residual mouth sores.  

Maybe all those years of eating Tofu really did pay off.  I will ask about 
checking out of here.

ps.  Sorry to all the platelet donors, but I used only 2 units, and one may 
have been only a split unit, 50% of a single donation.  I still ask any 
potential platelet donors to consider donating for my friend Jesus.  I will 
also be making a similar request for whole blood donors for him.  I think his 
blood type is A positive, which would allow O neg, O pos, A neg and A pos to 
all be potential donors.  This will allow more of you to get into the fun.  I 
will find out his blood type for sure later today.
