Fifty six is the number of days since I had the donor bone marrow transplant. It feels good to be this far out. Although, I'll sigh with a little relief once we hit 100 days out and then the 200 day mark.
So far-so good-no illness or infections and just the rhythm of my days go in and out. I'm enjoying the time home to do whatever my body will let me do-and have a good excuse to rest, read and knit! Yes, I am knitting-I don't know what it is I'm making, but the knitting keeps my shaking in check and it's something that I'm enjoy doing. I'm going on a few outings to grocery stores and other quick errands, but always with a mask. It's interesting how I'm not recognized with the mask and a hat on and some people don't know exactly how to react. It's ok and I feel quite anyomous. I don't mind at all. It keeps people from asking too many questions.
I'm still so overwhelmed by the outpouring of love we have been shown. Thank-you, Thank-you for all your heart felt wishes, and prayers in my behalf.
I feel optimistic and hopeful and so grateful for medical science and the good team that I see once a week who watches over me with eagle eyes.
Anthony comes in this weekend which I'm looking forward to. My children have been so attentive as I have mentioned before. They inspire me! And Doug is taking great care of me.
As always-with deep appreciation for everything life has to offer!!!
