6/22/2011 Now it's a waiting game

I got the stemm cells put in on Monday June 20, So I guess that's my new Birthday or "Zero" day to keep track of in the future. Everything went well with the stem cell insertion and now we are just waiting for everything to do it's thing and run it's course so my body can have it's reaction and start building back up for discharge in a couple of weeks. My numbers are still high enough that we aren't talking transfusions yet, but it's bound to happen later this week if what happened last time holds true.

Patty's been great, she comes up and sits with me. We take some walks around the East 8 Wing and say hi to some of doctors, PAs, nurses and CNAs that we know and have treated us. I didn't ask Patty tonight before she left, but I think the creamed corn smell propably gone now.

We are trying to play around with my meds to try to get the nausea under control during the middle of the night, that seems to be the worst time me, but tonight we're trying a couple of other things. It is a struggle to eat and/or drink very much this past couple of days, but we'll get through it.

Hope everyone is enjoying the great summer weather that is finally hitting us, we hope you're all safe and well.
