Cinqo dies de ma Transplanto(My version of Spanish)

This is March 23 2005. That means it is five days since I was infused with someone elses Stem Cells. It will still be a while before anything spectactular comes, I have to wait for the cells to get into my bones and start making my new blood. So far all my counts have dropped, as normal, white blood- 0.2, red -94, platelets- 113. Likely my platelets will drop almost to zero before they will give me any transfusions, as it would mean filling me, again, of someonelse's cells and that may just confuse my already slightly dazed body or blood stream.

Well the few days past I havn't been eating a whole lot, which is nothing compared to my normal eating habits. I just keep getting sick, like I said before, I hate getting sick. So slowly I am waisting away, but I think my eating is starting to pick up again. But now I have to worry about my mouths sores I seem to be getting, they aren't too sore yet, but they are becoming that way. Unfortunately the mouth sores won't disappear until my blood counts come up which could take up to two weeks before engraftment occurs in my bones.

My doctor told me I am on the road to Picadilly today, I am not really sure what that means, but he is a funny African doctor, so he must have some strange saying but he is a good doctor.

So whatever road I am on, its definatley not over yet, but one day at I time, I will get there!
