Cliff Hanger

Sorry for the Cliff Hanger, I'm still here.  The transplant took place on June 17th without incident and I've been recovering as expected so far.  There have been some sleepless nights, two bouts with high fevers, and continued GI discomfort.  I spent most of the first two days post transplant in bed feeling like I'd been run over by a truck.  I'm catching up with the fatigue now and the fevers have stopped.  We're still waiting for the WBC counts to zero out which allows the new cells to take up home in the marrow.  After that, they will begin to make blood cells again and recover my counts.  That's all suppose to be around 12-14 days post transplant.
