So, it has now been four days since my transplant and six days since my last bout of chemotherapy and if I am to be honest I have to say I still feel like crap.
But 'crap' is such a wee fickle and relative word. Compared to four days ago, I feel amazing. However, I am still a long way from normal. It is still a struggle to walk one lap of the ward and summoning up the strength to have a morning shower feels like mustering up the power to run a marathon.
But I don't want to whinge. Now I am through the other side and fingers crossed, it will all be onwards and upwards from here. But I did have a slight hiccup today. It was strange because as I said before I felt fine (relatively) so I was surprised when my temperature came in at 100.4F. That was considered a low grade fever.
Interestingly enough, I normally feel like I know when a fever is coming on, but here I was genuinely surprised. Anyway, they gave me an extra shot of antibiotics and everything is back to where it should be. The other thing I noticed was that I have developed a rash on my trunk and back. Since it doesn't itch or hurt and looks like clearing up, the doctors are not too worried.
Well, tomorrow I hope that I can go back to giving you lots of boring news and I'll be feeling better still. Until next time, stay well:)
