My Century

Today is day 100 post BMT. Apparently most people start to notice a bit of a difference about this time after a bone marrow tranplant. They all describe how their appetite is starting to improve, and they don't feel as sick. That is probably true, but the progress is so slow, it's really hard to notice. At clinic last week some of my counts had retreated a little (not enough to be a problem) which could have had something to do with the little sniffle I'd picked up. One thing I cannot afford to do is relax about being near people with colds. My official counts were Hb 103, which was up a little, my WCC was 3.8 which was slightly down, my neutrophils were down a little to 2.8, but my plateletes were up to 130. I don't seem to be able to keep these silly NG tubes down though. Another one came up yesterday, so I'll probably have to get a new one today. Not the way I'd planned on celebrating my first tonne.

Being home is sometimes a little boring because I can't go to school, or shopping or anywhere like Maccas, but sometimes I have to make my own fun, and anyone who knows me, knows I love clowning around. Below is my impersonation of the seven dwarfs. Happy, Doc, Sneezy, Bashful, Sleepy, Dopey and Grumpy.
