Ohhhhhhhh! Low white count is NOT GOOD, especially this time of year with all the colds going around. Mine was 2.5, which is horrible, the last time it was tested so I have to have Nasty Shots to jump start white cell production. I'm going in for another blood test today, hopefully we'll find out on Tuesday that I've got a white cell to spare for the next time a kindergartener coughs on me. Little darlings.
On retest, MD's was 3.something -- she's learning to handle her own medical stuff and spoke to the doctor so I don't have precise details -- up from 2. something.
I don't plan to worry until she's seen the specialist because it wouldn't do any good and the rise makes me feel optimistic that she just was recovering from an infection or something.
MD fortunately doesn't face kindergartners on a daily basis only university students.
University students are just as bad about not staying home when they're sick and sharing their viruses with everyone else, although I must admit they are less likely to wipe their noses on YOUR sleeve than kindergarteners are.
On the history/literature I may have exaggerated about the accessibility of the Iliad ... It might take me 15 minutes or 15 days to actually find the thing but that goes for lots of stuff in my house.
Reinstalling your OS multiple times get s you tons of nerd points! If you weren't a nerd, you'd take it to a "pro" (who wouldn't necessarily know as much).
MD doesn't seem too worried and, really, there's no point in worrying until we know more. The rise makes me feel optimistic.
I'd be optimistic about the white count too. They tend to fluctuate and you're right; the fact that her result was higher on re-testing is good. Seeing it go down might have been a bit alarming. There's so much viral junk floating around this year it's hard to keep up.
If Ubuntu had a shockwave plug-in and an .rar extension I don't think I'd bother much with XP. I think I need to stop putting graphics on my boot screen. I've heard there's a bug. Then again it *would* be nice to finally be able to use my CS3...
The work box is on all the time and when I do boot, I have a tendency to start it going and then wander off for tea and such. In other words, I don't think you'll miss the image much.
