Around 12:20a I called the nurse in for a round of morphine for a persistant headache. I also noticed the lower parts of my arms had started to itch. Benadryl was administered and I slept well until 3:45a when I awoke and noticed my arms were still itching. A topical lotion, Sarna, was given to relieve the itch. It worked.
About the same time, a nurse came into hang a bag of magnesium and told me that my WBC had jumped from .3 to .5 and my neutrophils were .27, a major jump from .14 the day before. My platelet counts were only 15 so I got an infusion around 8:00 and ended up sleeping until after noon due to the premeds.
I was able to eat breakfast and lunch but not dinner. My stomach was still unsettled and felt heavy. My rash from the day before had stopped itching and I noticed my mouth was not as swollen. Ended the night with a cyclosporine headache.
