Recovering from the transplant

12/22/97

It's day 47 and I'm still recovering from the transplant. Things are improving though appittie is getting better, and vomiting has pretty much stoped. The blood counts are finally stablizing, and I don't need transfusions every other day. The only thing that bothers me is the minor pain that has begun in my lower vertabrae and ribs. I'm hoping this is not Leukemia pain but I can't be sure.
