Hello everyone. Sorry taking so long updating you all, almost hard to beleive its been 3 1/2 weeks since I have been home. Well the question alot of you may be asking is how I am doing. Up to a few days ago still feeling pretty worn out and lathargic. This might have been partially due to fact I was still have trouble sleeping even with the use of sleeping pills. About the last 4-5 days starting to sleep through most of the night, but still on sleeping pills. The road hasn't been totally smooth. This past Friday had to go into the hospital here in town. Woke up with a full blown cold. After blood work to see what kind of shape I was in got prescribed some antibiotics. The pills seem to have done the job as I am feeling better now, except pills are kinda screwing up my eating a little bit. Should be done the pills for Monday I figure. Well to answwer the question how am I. I beleive I am doing GOOD as per what the cross cancer has indicated. From what I am being told the stem cells took and I am on the road to recovery. The road to recovery might be as quick as I would like it to be, but one day at a time. I was informed that it might be up to 6 months before my energy levels are allright and possibly up to a year before I am completely feeling normall again. As the doctor on hand for my stem transfer stated most people don't relize or consider my procedure to be overly serious but as the doctor stated just becuase I don't have a scar a stem cell transfer is classified as major surgery. To give an example of my energy level I felt ambitious the other day and thought I would pick-up a flat of drinking water. I carried to the flat 200-300 yrds and I was competely wore out. Lots of everyday stuff that I really can't do yet but slowly it all comes back. WEll now that I home now my eating is pretty descent. Definelty not eating like I used to but alot more than the hospital. Pretty partial to chicken for so reason. When I got home I was 200-205pd mark. For some reason about a week after I got home I was still losing weight, almost 10pds. Weighed myself tonight and back up to about pds so starting to put some weigh back on. Well I don't do to much during the day. In the mornings I fell more energetic so I try to get out of the house and do someting. BY the afternoon I am pretty lazy and usually take some form of a nap. Come evening I try aqnd go for a walk. Well I am back at the cross cancer center this Fri July03. Going to do more blood work and get my central line removed. I will meet with my oncologist, DR. Belch, and we will review my condition. I'd say cross your fingers but I know I am going in the right direction. WEll everyone thanks agian for all you support, thoghts, and prayers.
