day 3 over hve my liitle buddies back, was quite a procedure, 2 techs
bring in a large cooler that had my seven bags of stemcells inside
they had me hooked to several moniters/heart/oxygen/and al vitals
everything went great with no hitch,they let the stemcell gravity while checking vitals took about ten min a bag
had told us thedmso that they preserve the cells in was very stinky but i never noticed,they had me breath out as hard as i could every 5 min for threebreaths to keep the dmso from colleting in lungs
slept for an hour or so after,the whole thing lasted about an hour and a half

well, did not write yesterday, just really felt tired all day, alot of napping and really didnt want to eat,just smelling food made nauseus but started medicine for that today and seem to feel some better this afternoon
al levels reported,doing just what they are supposed to be doing.
looks like the worst of this is the waiting on levels and the lack of energy
it is all a waiting game now

Hope today you are feeling less sick and a little more comfortable- I've been following your story from afar.
Sleep and enjoy the rest  , before you know it, you'll be back to hard work and being busy.
Take Care

well i know it has been a while but seemed to have been very busy, go for blood work in the morning it has been 7 weeks since transplant and 3 weeks since i have been to the dr. when they took my mainline out.
at that time the dr said not to come back for 3 weeks and took me off all meds and to continue with normal activities. have had no problems and feel better every day , i want to thank all of you for concerns and comments over the past several months and want you to know if there is anything i can offer to help or any info i could pass on i would be more than happy to, i have been very fortunate and seem to be on the road back
thanx again
