No Pain, No Gain

It is now time to prepare for my second transplant on the 30th. I started chemotherapy yesterday. I got a fever from the chemo, but the fever was gone by the evening. The doctor has made the proper adjustments so that it will not happen again though. I have also been suffering from constant back pain, not enough to stop getting around though. I am still walking daily and my appetite is normal. I feel that this transplant will go very smoothly. I know that I have not posted a blog lately, but it has been simply a waiting game the last couple of weeks. Not much has been going on and I feel there has not been much to talk about. I am basicly going through the motions again. My days have become a schedule. I usually get up and have coffee, take a walk, watch TV, eat lunch, take a walk, and watch more TV. It seems pretty boring, but the days seem to fly by though. Well, I cant think of anything else that is going on, so I guess I'll check back in as soon as more news comes in.

Another pothole repatched

Yes it has been a while since I have wrote about what is going on. Its usually a good thing, but this time it was a fever. I recovered from the fever a week and a half ago, but I feel it was the first time I came down on myself. Gee, it only took me eight months to become a little depressed! I am over it now, seeing how the poking and prodding have ceased. I am still in the hospital waiting for more cells to arrive. The other cells I received have not engrafted yet, so I will need another installment. Yes it gets boring at times but I feel a lot safer in the hospital, seeing how my counts are low and my energy level has still not returned. I am walking daily though, just not as much as I used to. The physical therapist came by the other day and gave me exercises to do. I think if I get started now I can tone up for summer! The only real task at hand is waiting. I may not get cells for a week or so. I guess I may have to find something to do like read or arts and crafts!! Whatever it is I know my spirits will still be high. People ask me how I do it. I guess I am just thankful for my laid back attitude. Well, I am all out of words, so I think I will go back to the lavishing hospital life.
