Finally we are on the home stretch..A long strectch, but heading toward the end nevertheless.
Yesterday was supposed to be a day of rest..instead the night and day was spent fighting nausea and not wanting to eat or drink..4 kinds of anti nausea meds and I stilll puked in Wed morning and this norning..Feel wimpy and cold and tired, but functional.
Still in outpatient mode at out apartment, so all is according to the master plan..(going to the hospital is not what we want)
Today we went to the infusion room at 8:30 and got some hydration and about 18 million cell back into me..Wierd..They freeze the cells in a DMSO solution to -30 ..Warm then up and feed them back IV..Now the Wif says I smell like a big old Fir tree I am told..DMSO is a derivitive of wood pulp . Just glad I dont have a sense of smell. 4 hrs of ydration, a ct scan and 3 naps...But feel 1/2 human currently and even ate some peaches and cottage cheese...They say it will geet worse after few days, but we will see. I typically fail fast and recover soon it seems...Got home at 6PM...long day. So now just have to let the little stemmy celc do there thing and get the bone marrow back to working..dont know what numbers they want yet, but looking fwd to it for sure.
Thanks for caring group..

Wishing you the warmest and best. Ive'd stopped complaining about my minor infirmities as I recall a saying back some time ago that went something like this:
ReplyDelete"I complained that my shoes were old and ugly, until I met a man who had no feet"
You are simply an inspiration to us all, especially me.
