2nd ASCT - Day +4 May 22 2012

My tongue and throat continue SORE. However, I can eat and drink if I take a pain pill just before trying. The raw stomach ache that I had with my 1st Autologous Stem Cell Transplant last 13 September 2011 is not NEARLY as bad and I am happy for that.  I walked in the hallway of the bone marrow transplant unit for 16 minutes this morning.


Jani helped me with a shower and it really wore me out. Afterwards, by accident, I brushed my teeth with Desitin instead of toothpaste - that was a REAL JOY ~~~ UGH....

Nurses work 12 hour shift and change at 7 AM and 7 PM.  Here are RN Shanel and RN Robin reviewing my conditions.

Faye Hummel came to visit and had dinner with Jani and I here in the room. I'm still exhausted from my shower.

My 4 PM labs showed that I needed platelets, so they will be coming.
