Well it's been a very interesting few days. I'm not really sure even where to begin. Shortly after they finished the stem cell transplant I began to get the shakes and my joints began to ache. No big deal, the doctor said it was normal and gave me some Demerol and I felt better. Since then (I am writing this now at midnight on day +3) I have spent my days and nights getting the shakes, having joint pain, nausea, oh and spiking fevers which Tylenol has been unable to bring down, so off and on all day and night long, for hours at a time, I have to lay on a cooling blanket set at 40 degrees. This stinks, really, really, stinks. So needless to say I don't sleep well, I'm drugged and I feel like crap. The bright side to it all though is that it's all completely normal and the symptoms should start to wind down by day +5.
On a different note, I would really like to thank everyone for all their love, prayers, support and good vibes. Its felt and truly appreciated!!
Sending love. So much love.
