Countdown to Transplant - Day 6

So far, so good. Everything is going smoothly. The research nurses broke me in nicely with about a dozen of blood draws from my IV. My appetite is still normal and I walked around the eleventh floor of the hospital for a total of two miles today. My weight was right at about 260 pounds and vital signs have been suffice. I hope everyday is like today.

Checking In

Today is the day. This is when the journey begins. I have only been in the hospital for a couple of hours and they are not playing around. My fluids have been hooked up and I have an IV in my arm. The IV will check the levels of the chemotherapy in my blood. Chemotherapy will begin early in the morning. People keep asking me how I feel. Don't worry, I am ready for this.
