The doctor just came by, and said I could go home tomorrow assuming when they pull my antibiotics today that I don’t develop any fevers! Yes, escape!!! If it works out Dec 28th would be exactly the day I predicted for getting out. I’m doing my happy dance now, and no it won’t be recorded.

I figured I haven’t posted many pictures of my adventure due to a number of factors. One being I didn’t have my digital camera with me. My backup option was an iSight video camera, which takes sort of blurry stills, and some effort to get the stills out. And then I was too tired to [...] My WBC is up to 0.8. No major news today. Since my counts leveled off I’m looking at going home later in the week, but they could still suprise me. I’d really like to go home, but I’m trying to be patient. I should actually get to do some coding today, which will be nice [...] Not much different from Christmas in prison. I’m a little blue now. I miss watching Kassie open her presents and pontificate on that this is the best ever present. Kassie and Molly are coming by for a real short visit, but it should be great. I haven’t seen them in about 10 days now. I [...] Kassie drew a big heart on my come home calendar for Dec 23 Better news at 5am this morning. My WBC has skyrocketed to 0.8, so given this progression I should be at 2.0 or better tomorrow and they can release me to go home for Christmas. This is probably a bit of a pipe [...] White Blood Cell Counts are up Great news today. After 8 days of waiting my counts have finally gone from less than 0.1 to 0.2 officially. So my stem cells are actually producing white blood cells again. I know they might go up and down a little from here, but this is great news. When [...] Mom’s gone home Well it’s a bit lonely on the ward tonight. Micki just left to cover Kassie and Molly as they sleep and my Mom had to go back and take care of my Dad so he doesn’t go too stir crazy. The good news is I’m feeling pretty decent. Worst event of the [...] My stem cells are back I slept most of the day they reinfused my stem cells. It’s a little bit of a non-event it only takes ten minutes. Today has been better, but I stil nap a lot. They’re a bit worried about by bloody noses, but I had millions of bloody noses as a [...] So far I’m surviving Not a lot of enery to night, but between Micki and I we got a dialup setup. This probably means video conferencing won’t work tomorrow, but we’re going to attempt it. Right now the worst part is the nasaua that leads to acid reflux and vomitting, but so far only twice [...] Going In Tomorrow is D-Day. I’ll be checking into the hospital tomorrow to undergo the stem cell transplant. I’m ready for it, the waiting has gotten old. This is probably the biggest physical challenge I’ll undergo this lifetime, though I could attempt a marathon. It’s mostly a matter of staying positive and charging through. Right [...] |
