Quiet Sunday
The radiation and last dose of chemo has officially wiped my appetite off the map. Since yesterday, I've had a bowl of soup and a few crackers. And I don't foresee me eating anything for the rest of the evening. I don't feel nauseous however, just very full, like I've over-eaten or something. And that anything I might try, would just come right back up. The nurses have been taking good care of me too. My white blood cell counts have been hanging almost in the normal range, so they actually let me go outside for some fresh air today. So that was nice.
Special thanks to Liz, Mylove, Amee, and Dynetta, who brought me chicken!
Thank goodness I don't have any more chemo or radiation to endure. I'm just hanging around getting my blood checked every so often so they can monitor my counts. My transplant is still scheduled for Tuesday morning. And from there...it's onto recovery, building my counts back up, and going home!
Katie headed home today for a short break so she could attend her awards dinner Monday night. She deserves it so much. I'm so very proud of her. She'll be back up here early Tuesday morning in time for the transplant. In the meantime, it looks like movies and models with my Mom keeping me company!

A quiet, calm Sunday is always good. And hanging out with Mom is even better. We are so very glad to know all is going well. And Congrats to Katie!
ReplyDeleteKeep on keepin' on buddy!! It was great to hear that you were able to go outside for a bit of break from hospital air, and it was such a nice day to boot! We are so happy for Katie and all that she has been able to achieve in such a short amount of time. Now it will be your turn to show off some! After your transplant, your eating will return to the huge amounts that it was and you will be back to life in the fast lane, hanging out with Ingrid, Maya and Austin!
