Feeling well, shoulder above where central line went is is less sore. Plenty of pills to take - shake rattle and (roll), anti sickness, conditioning etc. I think we are looking at about 10 a day - will try to keep a record tomorrow. Busy day with visits from nurses, doctors etc.
Had two units of blood today plus first chemo drip. I have to keep a record of my liquid intake and output for the full length of my stay - yes nice hospital bottles in use. Introduced to a nice little friend that will be with me for my stay - injection in the skin in the stomach, which is ok but stings like fury a few moments after it has finished.
Other good news is that Exjade will be started once the engraftment has taken and I am beyond 30 days from admission. So that looks like April.
Because of the Norovirus visiting is restricted to the hours of 15:00 - 17:00 and 19:00 - 20:00. Shame as visiting was all day with no visiting between 12pm and 2pm.
Glad all is going to plan! Sleep on your back - nobody there to hear you snore ....
