18 September 2012:

New platelets and 3rd rituxim treatment via IV today.  Oddly, the p-count from yesterday to today went up from 4 to 12 with no distinctive action taken between yesterday and today.  Entered the day with significant petechiae showing up since having physical therapy Monday.  My face is showing some of this, really for the first time.  This adds to the intrigue about the 12 count since this stuff would normally show up with a lower count.
