A mi manera/My way
A Virginia desde que era chiquititita se le ha notado una fuerte tendencia "medalaganaria" y esta codificada en fuego en su ADN. Es para tanto que los doctores le dieron anticonceptivos para evitar el periodo pero de alguna manera Virginia logro esquivar las hormonas y le llegó como quiera. Como se pueden imaginar esto es un problema para una mujer en las mejores de las circumstancias pero cuando te han borrado la médula y tus niveles sanguineos están menguando es algo más que una inconveniencia. Le pasaron plaquetas hoy y la sangre se mantiene mas o menos estables en el "declive esperado". Mañana es el famoso dia +5 y es cuando empieza la ventana de "sentirse peor". Se espera que los efectos acumulados de la quimio y de las medicinas inmunomoduladoras se empiecen a sentir de a de veras. Esto encima de niveles sanguineos menguantes porque es muy temprano para la médula nueva producir nuevas células y las viejas de virginia se están muriendo. El ánimo y el humor de Virginia siguen super bien y nunca dice que está quillada o apretada o triste. Pero no se crean que no le coge con cosás. Todavia sigue en pinche con los doctores porque no se le han caido los pelos. Ve tu a ver. Como es ya costumbre hasta los pelos de Virginia son medalaganarios.
Aburrrr
Since Virginia was a small baby she had a "iwilldoitmyway"attitude that is strongly codified in her DNA. It's so much this way that doctors gave her some contraceptives to stop her from having her period but she went on ahead and started last night having her period. As you may imagine this is a problem for ladies in the best of circumstances and when your blood counts are decreasing this is slightly more thatn a nuisance. She had platelets transfused today to help her clot and stop bleeding faster and her blood is more or less stable albeit in the expected "downhill". Tomorrow is the infamous day +5 in which the window of "feeling the worst" will beging due to effects of chemo, inmunosuppresants and lowering blood counts (the new bone marrow is not producing blood cells yet and the old ones have started to die off). This will last approx two weeks.Virginia continues to have soaring spirits and does not talk about being scared or sad or angry. Don't you think though that she does not have her pet peeves. She is currently holding a grudge with the doctors because her hairs have not fallen. Take a hold of this, even Virginia's hairs have the"iwilldoitmyway"attitude.
See ya'
