What goes down, must come up

• ER

I can't keep anything down. Not the nausea meds, not water, not food. I call the after-hours exchange for Dr. R and the doctor that calls me back recommends that I head to the ER. He notifies them that I am on my way. In the ER, they pump me full of fluids and run some tests. The blood work shows that my white blood cell count is low (this becomes a regular thing for me) and the urine test shows that I have a urinary tract infection. The doctor adds an antibiotic to my IV and gives me my first ever shot of Neupogen (it won't be my last). After about 3 hours, I am back at home with instructions to call Dr. R's office in the morning.
