Counting down to transplant/infusion

Today was Peter's only day so far with no chemo or radiation. He seemed to be in better spirits but I'm sure the morphine drip he had going helped with that. He has had alot of leg pain and mouth pain and the morphine helps alleviate that. The morphine makes him sleep better also.

Not sure what the exact protocol for the transplant/infusion is tomorrow. At least we will now be starting the upward swing. I'm sure it will have it's ups and downs but overall it should be heading towards better health.

Peter and the girls have been trying to bribe me into exercising and I might actually start tomorrow. I'll start walking for 30 minutes and work up from there. Peter says he expects me to be in better shape than now when he is released from Duke. I'll give it a try.

Have a great day!

Wendy

Hey Cuz,

Just realized you had updates on your site. I have to remember to check the site daily, as there is no other way of knowing you have a new post.

Good luck with everything, positive thoughts are coming your way! Wish i was there for support! Good luck with your excersise routine! I was back to over 200 lbs again but have been back on a better eating habits plan and have lost almost 20 pounds. I actually weigh 5 pounds less than what I did when I was on weight watchers the last time I was down to see you. I think knowing I have to haul this fat butt around on crutches is a little boost!

If you need anything or just need to talk, dont hesitate to call me. Lots of hugs and kisses to Peter!


Love, Lori
