neutropenic

After my day 29 treatment up in Auckland i became neutropenic.
It means that my white blood cells have dropped to a level that increases my risk of infection.
because of this people who are sick or carrying a bug around are not allowed to come visit me at all.
they also have to sanitise their hands before they come into the house.
Because i cant be around people who are sick i cant take the risk of going anywhere with big groups of people.
i am also on a neutropenic diet which means everything that is grown above and below the ground have to be peeled or cooked at a high temperature because of the bacteria that can grow on the vegetables/fruits.
thank god lollies aren't grown below or above the ground!!!!!!!!
