Question Don't know what to think

Hi everyone. We are still not sure if the machine was at fault for my lack of platelet count... however the plot thickens because now my count is 144!!!!

I'm not on any treatment. I was confused as to whether I should be happy or not. The Doctor said that he felt it was suspicious, seen as my counts are not usually anywhere near that. I only sopke to him on the phone for a minute and in my shock didn't get to ask why he thought it was suspicious..??? He just said to watch out for any bleeding. Does he think that may be the cause for the increase in platelets? I am sure I would know if I was bleeding.

Maybe it is just a miracle...

I have been unwell with a bad cold recently, maybe that might have had some impact. Really hard on this constant rollercoaster!!!

Take care all,
Jules
