Well, one month from today we'll be flying home, me bald and probably a little fluffier from all the steroids, four meals a day, two protein drinks, and no exercise. Not a pretty picture, is it? But, hey, I might possibly be walking for the rest of my life rather than wheelchair or bedridden. Now which choice would you make? And if I can walk, I can walk off some of the extra fluff. Oh, how I dream of that!
Today, Dr F and Anastasia organized a part/tea called New Life Anniversary. There were former and present HSCT patients in attendance, and Anastasia had put together a video presentation of former patients of Dr F. It was very encouraging to see such improvement and gratitude for a new life. I hope to be one of those walking (dancing?) patients who comes back to bring hope to others.
Had a good nights sleep last night by taking a sleeping pill after the 11:00pm shot and then a Valium after the 3:00 shot. I slept until 7:30 and then dozed off twice today. Right now, at 8:50 with it full daylight outside I am sleepy. I know my sleep patterns are of immense importance to all of you five readers who are following this blog.
Oh, tomorrow is port day. A large needle with a 8 or 10 inch tube will be inserted into my jugular vein. Step up the prayers please.
