Things have been much better lately! I’m feeling good. All my counts are recovering nicely & I’ve been able to get out more. I’m trying to have as much fun as possible before my transplant in a month. My sister and I drove across the border into the US to go shopping at the outlet mall. It’s nice being so close to the border.
This past weekend I felt well enough to have a few drinks. My sister and I made Margaritas :) I went to a friend’s Stag & Doe for a little bit with some friends & ended up going downtown after to the bar. My nurse told me to stay away from crowds & bars while my counts are low. But I’ve been feeling so good lately & needed to get out of the house so bad! I only had a couple drinks & I was very careful. I ran into some friends that I haven’t seen since being diagnosed so that was nice.
For Mother’s Day my Mom cooked turkey dinner, since we didn’t have our big Easter dinner this year. It was so nice out we were able to sit outside. My grandparents came for dinner & so did my Uncle & cousin, who I haven’t seen since Christmas. It was a fun day. My sister, brother and I bought my Mom a big basket full of all her favourite stuff. She loved it.
All of my pre transplant appointments are coming up now. I went to the Hospital today for a chest x-ray and blood work. They took 15 tubes of blood, not fun. Today I also had (hopefully) my last bone marrow biopsy ever! :) In a couple days I have my exercise testing & lung function tests. I’ll also be having an RNA scan to check my heart and an abdominal ultrasound. I’m feeling pretty good so all of those tests should come back good & hopefully stay that way until my transplant :)
