Good week

I've been home 10 days and still loving it.   The days go by fast and it's a good week when I can be independent in taking care of myself and doing a couple of things around the house.  My life centers around meds, infusions and resting.(Sleep is still not great at night, but much better than a week ago.)  But that is ok.  I'm grateful that I am being carefully watched over by a very capable medical team.   I go in twice a week to the clinic where adjustments always seem to be made and I am questioned carefully on everything pertaining to my diet to sleep to activity and strength and everything in between.
    I'm being very careful as all my defenses are down. We are now being told that any visitors that I have should have had their flu shots, and if it is a nasal one, to wait two weeks before seeing me.  My sisters and katie are mostly my visitors.  It is ok as I really don't have a lot of energy to talk and converse, although in time, I hope that will change.   Doug is a great comfort and company for me.
     I'm lucky that my eyes have not been too affected by all the meds and I can read which I am enjoying.   I have a huge stack of books and it has been so fun finishing one and picking up another which is just as good and engaging as the one before.
     My head now has some white fuzz on top.   I may leave it white this time instead of reverting back to a blonde. I have not minded being bald as it has been the least of my worries.   I have been surprised by the lack of wigs I saw up on the 8th floor.  Being bald is like a badge of honor up there.
      We are still so overwhelmed my the caring thoughts, prayers, coming our way.   They mean so much to me as it is a while before I'm 'out of the woods'.    I have to make it through the first 100 days (which will be Thanksgiving) and then the second 100 days which is February to see how I really am doing. And then a couple of years to know if the donor cells really worked.   So, staying healthy is key.  And we find that the caring thoughts and prayers comfort us giving us great hope.    
 Thank-you for being interested and for caring so much!
Love
Kathy
