(not a good photo-but you get the idea)Walking is such an important part of fighting off cancer. Keep moving is their motto. We are asked to walk 3-4 times a day for 20-30 min. I’ve been very good about it but “wrapping up your body” is a chore in itself. I have to wear a mask, plastic gown and gloves….plus pulling all my meds can be a little strange. The kids walked with me a few times (as well as some friends, husband, parents and brother). Thanks to all that made the endless circle more fun.
I AM HOME!!! What a feeling to lie in your own bed and smell the familiar smells. I love that I can hug my kids and snuggle next to my husband. First thing I did was get in the tub. Awwwww…felt so nice! It is the little things that make life grand.
I broke the record at LDS Bone Clinic by being discharged the quickest. Only 7 days when the traditional leukemia patient can stay up to 4 weeks. I am currently in “nadar” which means I have no white blood cells to fight infection. I have to be very careful what I do, who visits and keeping up on my medicine. I am tired but feel strong. I am trying to up my calorie intake and drink more water.
Thanks to all that have jumped to help support our whole family during this experience.
We are overwhelmed and feel very fortunate to have you in our lives.
