I'm sitting here hooked up to my IV pole, and at last have a high speed internet connection (I live in the boonies) which makes for happier time at the computer. I took a four mile bike ride this morning, and can walk about two miles - I feel like crowing at people I pass "I just got out of the hospital a few days ago!" I have had a mass of small complaints - almost all drug side effects, which I will spare you the details of, but at least some of them are resolving. I have a flush on my upper body which could be the beginning of GVHD, but I did have some of it before the transplant too, so only time will tell. I go in and out of worries, but no major bouts of fear.
The wonders of being home are slightly tempered by my sun restrictions, and the fact that we are in a heat wave now, so even in the home can get oppressive. But it gives us glorious early mornings and evenings, which are the only times I can really go out anyway.
My bloodwork on Monday was great - I am well on the way to normal counts.
I spent last evening with Dennis, and we watched the Sebastopol fireworks from his car, and took an evening walk. I think today I will have dinner with my kids, and who knows who else. We'll do it at Russell's, as his house doesn't get as hot. I hope you all are having fun today.

Hi Anne,
How wonderful it is to be home, eh? My mom was admitted to the hospital a few days ago: Rocky Mt Spotted Fever. She was pretty sick for a few days but today she was greatly improved. We watched the fireworks, sans mosquitoes and crowds, with a perfect view from the window in the empty room across the hall from her room. It was a happy diversion from the 4 walls and the crossword puzzles, and the monotonous TV. Her white cell count is low and they will not discharge her until they resolve that. She hates the food and wants to come home. I think you can relate! She asks about you all the time and I will print off your most recent post so she can see how well you are doing. We continue to pray for your health and well being. Much love and good thoughts,
Linda
