12th May - 65 days post transplant

Sorry that this week's blog is a day late. This Friday it was only a visit to have bloods checked and since then I have been hoping for a call from Addenbrookes (as previous) on the Bio chem results. I was then going to ask them for the blood results. No such call so all I can assume is that all is all OK and I'll have to make a call tomorrow (Monday) to see if I can get them. I have a set of results for each Friday for my haemoglobin from the 30th March, so have plotted these for those interested in data. A steady rise!!!




Still of Septrin and feeling good without it.

I managed to do my back in last weekend which has made this week a little difficult. The back is getting better slowly and I now just have difficulty getting out of the settee and chairs.
Eating is still a problem and is most bizarre. Today I had two bacon sandwiches for lunch and ate them without any problems and with gusto. However when it came to my main meal in the evening it was a real struggle which I gave up on except for the pudding. Now that is strange because I am not a pudding man!!!

Other than that the week has been a reasonable one.

OK, Blood tests are in and they are good.
Neutrophils have risen from 1.87 to 2.72 [now inside range 2 to 8]
Platelets have risen from 80 to 85. These have a bit of work to do as the range is 150 to 400, but the consultant said that they are slow in recovering. They need a kick up the proverbial me thinks. However one cannot complain at the little things as they were 40 before I went into hospital.

Mary went to the doctor today and has a viral infection mainly in her throat. Just what we needed. Spare bedroom for me for a while!!! Not that I don't love but she can keep her own bugs.
