Transplant Day - Rebirth

The day had finally come. I waited and waited all day for my bone marrow to reach the floor. The anticipation made me upset. Finally, around four o'clock, the doctor's came in and started the transplant. It was a very simple procedure. There were six bags of bone marrow used and they were infused directly through my catheter. It was practically like a blood transfusion. I became drowsy from the premedications and took a nap shorty after. Later that evening I woke up to some delicious Tex-Mex delivered by my parents. The day was over before I knew it and I was feeling as good as when the day began.
