#stemcellfloor

[mskathy0724]

On one of my last blood test and OT appointments I ran up to the #MDAnderson observation deck. While I was on isolation on the #stemcellfloor I could not go there. The other day I decided to go up in my germ mask that I wear everywhere. I had the room to myself and a nice view before going home. Today we move out of #HospitalityApartments and into a hotel for 2 days before heading home. I will miss being here but I need to get home to take care of my mother...and me, too. #MDAndersonCancerCenter #MakingCancerHistory #lymphoma #bloodcancer #KickingCancersButt #cancersucksineverycolor #bloodcancer #transplant #stemcelltransplant #bonemarrowtransplant #goinghome #Houston #Texas #HoustonTexas (at MD Anderson Cancer Center)

I keep this little table near my chair. I'd love to have one of these at my house. It has a small oval top with a woodgrain finish. It rolls around and the wheels can lock. #MDAnderson #furniture #furnituregoals ##MDAndersonCancerCenter #cancersucksineverycolor #cancersucks #lymphoma #stemcellfloor #stemcelltransplant #bonemarrowtransplant #enjoyingthesmallstuff (at MD Anderson Cancer Center Careers)

Excellent day on anti-rejection drugs. That thumb is very dry. Shea butter has been put on serious challenge with my hands and feet. Hands look like they were dipped in powder and feet look like Moses' after 40 years in the desert! #HelpMeAfricanSheaButter #DriestSkininMyLife #chemo #MDAnderson #baldgirl #baldwhenIwannabe #MDAndersonCancerCenter #stemcellfloor #stemcelltransplant #bonemarrowtransplant #cancersucks #cancersucksineverycolor #lymphoma #bloodcancer (at MD Anderson Cancer Center Careers)

Feeling much better today. Cleaned up, dressed in my Jennier Lutterbie shirt and determined NOT to be in bed today. Doctors came by today and said fever is a normal part of the process. #feelingbetter #stillgottapee #MDAnderson #MDAndersonCancerCenter #HoustonTexas #Houston #Texas #cancersucksineverycolor #cancersucks #beatingcancer #lymphoma #bonemarrowtransplant #stemcellfloor #stemcelltransplant (at MD Anderson Cancer Center Careers)

1.Down to the end of the bone marrow infusion. 2. Multitasking with knitting. 3. The empty bone marrow bag. It's all in me! The major part is over. Now the watching and waiting to make sure it takes. #ilovemydaughter #MDAnderson #MDAndersonCancerCenter #bonemarrowtransplant #stemcellfloor #stemcelltransplant #lymphoma #cancersucksineverycolor #cancersucks #thanksfortheprayers #keeptheprayersccoming (at MD Anderson Cancer Center Careers)

One more Fludarabine treatment today. Adrianne has a blood test this morning at 10. The morning nurse said my white count is dropping like they want. I guess that inspired Kermit's pole dance this morning. #goodmorning #MDAndersonCancerCenter #MDAnderson #MakingCancerHistory #bonemarrowtransplant #stemcellfloor #stemcelltransplant #KermittheFrog #chemo #cancersucksineverycolor #cancersucks #lymphoma #bloodcancer (at MD Anderson Cancer Center)

Last chart. Today's was better. I went to exercise class just before discharge as an inpatient. Somebody owes me a bandana! Saying goodbye to the #stemcellfloor. There are such nice folks on staff who wait on you hand and foot while they watch out for your safety. Now for a busy #outpatient schedule that starts tomorrow. #MDAnderson #MDAndersonCancerCenter #lymphoma #bloodcancer #cancersucks #KickingCancersButt #cancersucksineverycolor #stemcelltransplant #bonemarrowtransplant (at Hospitality Apartments Hrdf)

Yesterday's movement chart-- completed my walks but 2 short on the spirometer. It's dreary outside but not inside. The sun is scheduled to make an appearance today. Adrianne caught the bus home last afternoon. She'll return in a week. David is back and should be here this morning. Trying grits and applewood chicken sausages. Hope I can eat at least half. I smelled tomato soup this morning. The nurse said that was common in transplant patients.
