Well the heading pretty much says it all. It's day 25 since transplant, and my white cells are 0.9. Slowly but surely my counts are coming. We're all having little bets on when my neutrophils will appear. Dad says between Friday and Monday. I say between Tuesday and Friday next week. Katherine, the nurse consultant says between Monday and Wednesday. Ruchira, the doctor says Friday. Mel the nurse says Sunday. Mum says "later this week" so we'll assume she means Friday. I really don't care who's right, but lets hope one of us is. We now have to watch out for any rashes, especially on the palms of my hands or the soles of my feet. This could indicate Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD). A little bit is ok, a lot is bad. None will do me. My school teachers have heard that I'm feeling better, and they've all come in to see when I'm ready to start work again. My school at home has sent work for me, so I'll be able to hook into that. I've been trying to talk myself into eating something, but everything tastes like, well, um, I'm not sure what it tastes like, but it's not good, what ever it is. Poor Mum has had a sniffle, so she has exiled herself to the unit. Get well soon Mum. I'll wait here for you, ok?
