Transplant Day +1

TRANSPLANT DAY +1 TUESDAY 4/15/08

First day home. Side effects are getting stronger. I get these strange hiccups, sometimes 1 or 2 at once, but I counted 15 in a row one time. With the hiccups comes severe heartburn. Nausea is controlled pretty well with meds. I have been having some pretty bad diahria, which is not improving. They tell me these side effects are from the preservative that my stem cells were stored with and my body is getting it out these ways.

It’s good to be home and I feel pretty crappy, but I know things could be worse. My blood counts keep dropping, which in turn tires me out and makes the side effect stronger. I am so not looking forward to the next 7 – 14 days!!
