55 days from my transplant, feels like a lifetime ago yet the words I keep hearing are 'it's only early days'
I bounced out of bed this morning! More energy than I ever remember, actually feel like a new person.
Nurse informed me neutrophils are 1.6! And other bloods coming along nicely too (happy days) Went for walk with physio, done some stairs and passed with flying colours,seen the dietician who assessed my weight and eating etc, passed with flying colours.
Consultant came to see me, said I've recovered very quickly and they…
So yesterday I was informed by several staff that my neutrophils were 1.5! Everyone seemed so excited, saying it was brilliant news. I don't even know what half of it means but I was excited anyway and joined in with everyone else.
Consultant informed me they would be stopping my booster injections (they kick start the stem cells) as the cells were growing very quick.
Managed to eat wee bit more, had some paracetamol…
Well on Saturday morning I woke up to the delights of hair all over my pillow, decided to get a shower and see what was really happening before I rushed into shaving it all off. Clumps fell out in my hand as I washed it, well that was my kind made up, hair was coming off asap!
The last few days have been really tough, mouth ulcers have became very intense and it's took a while to ensure I'm on correct doses of pain relief.
As from yesterday I haven't even been able to swallow anything, not even water, I just rinse my mouth in water and mouthwashes, I've been given more mouth washes etc by staff and although they do help a little, it's only very temporary and soon the pain comes back…
