Going through the motions

Everyday is starting to seem like a process. I find myself setting a schedule for each day. I start off with my mouth treatment in the morning, I walk three times a day, and I manage to eat at least three meals a day. Lately I have been watching a lot of TV, but I plan to start reading instead. I know my schedule does not seem like much, but it seems to make the day fly by. My white blood cell count has dropped to 0.1 and I have been receiving blood products as needed. Everything is still smooth sailing though. The nurse said that my counts are expected to recover by the end of next week. I hope to leave the hospital ahead of schedule but I will not be sure until the new bone marrow begins to engraft. I think that as long as I stick to my daily 'schedule', everything will just seem like 'going through the motions.'
