Today (Wednesday 21st) is called Rest Day #1. But let me fill you in on yesterday first. Was a pretty good day. The final day of pre-transplant conditioning (fancy words for strong chemo). I felt pretty good; got in a mile walk; did my exercises; read for awhile (sometimes with chemo focusing is hard) and played a game of Scrabble with David, my most excellent caregiver!Today and tomorrow are Rest Days-no chemo. Though my body will still be processing the chemo. So still side effects to deal with. Besides needing a nap each day, my biggest side effect is no appetite. My caregiver is making sure I eat something and drink my Boost supplements. I am hoping to do a little craft I brought with me today and tomorrow.Then Friday morning,(my mom calls it Hallelujah Day!), I get my donor’s cells. From what I hear it is almost anti-climatical because it is just like getting a transfusion but I am super excited to get them, get through the post- conditioning and get out of this hospital!As always, I/we are so very grateful for your prayers, thoughts and cards. Much love to you all! Kay/David
