Plasma Extraction

It's been a rough weekend. The neupogen shots are kicking in, which is causing bone pain through my legs and hips. It is uncomfortable but bearable.

While the pain varies in intensity throughout the day, it seems to be worst at night. Last night the pain had spread into my head and back, making it impossible to sleep.

Because of my high lipid count, they are putting me on a machine that removes my blood and filters out the plasma. This procedure takes about 3 hours.
