Day 98

I haven’t posted in a long time because I hate writing negative stuff on here but that’s just it..I don’t really have anything positive to say. Everything has been going well, all my blood counts are perfect on paper when I go to the hospital every Tuesday. But I don’t feel well. I know fatigue is part of healing but this is serious. I nap everyday now. Sometimes 2 hours a day sometimes up to 5 hours. My anti rejection drugs that I’m on make me so nauseous. So I’m still throwing up on the odd day. Eating has become a chore. I’ve lost about 10 more pounds since being home. Seeing the number on the scale drop below 100lb was a really scary thing. I know I need to keep hydrated and eat the most I can or I will end up back in the hospital. Before all of this I could look at food and I’d gain weight. Now it’s a struggle to keep the pounds on.
I participated in my towns Terry Fox Run for cancer research this past weekend. My team raised about $1000 this year :) The run is 6k but I only lasted walking 5 minutes, much different from running the full 6k last year but at least I made it.
My 100 days post transplant is this Sunday! The day before my 24th birthday. I’m having all my girlfriends over Saturday night to celebrate. We won’t be going out this year but that doesn’t bother me. Should be a fun night.
