We continue to move forward. My white blood count tripled today to 0.6! There is discussion of an earlier discharge if we continue to make progress. Once discharged from here I would reside in a local apartment to stay close to the hospital for a couple of months. There is still a long way to go to completely recover from a stem cell transplant.
I continue to expand what I eat. Appetite and stomach still improving. Not completely back to normal, but getting closer. I still miss my coffee, since I have been avoiding that due to its acidity. Maybe in the next couple of days I will try a cup.
Today I received a light-hearted t-shirt from my brother.
Normally I am a pretty calm person, but awhile back I was consumed with Ironman triathlons and immersed myself into the training and racing. Although I am sure I beat up some of my body with all that training, I can’t but help think it built a foundation for me to best weather this current challenge.
