D+7

Medically things continue to go well. I am eating solid food each meal, although I look for bland items in order to avoid possible stomach upset. I was also taken off one of the antibiotics since I have not experienced any fevers.

I started exercising using the theraband, which I just attach to the bathroom door handle and use it primarily for arm pull-downs, like we use to do for cross-country ski training.

In the evening I received a shot of GCSF, which is a protein that stimulates the bone marrow to create stem cells. Do you recall what they did to Steve Rogers when they transformed him to Captain America? Well, it was nothing like that. Just a simple shot to the arm in order to stimulate the body. Sometimes people experience side effects from the shot such as bone pain, but so far no side effects for me.
