6 Months

My daughter noticed I was feeling better just when I got home after the hospital last month.  I've been taking  the antibiotics and I'm getting stronger.  People that haven't seen me in a while say I look more "ambulatory".  I even dared to take a cab the other day (with the walker) and went to a meeting with my son's school teachers.  Then I took a cab and came back home.  I only live two blocks away from school... but I did it!  
I'm working hard with my physiotherapist and although the antibiotics make me very dizzy, I realize I get better each session and this has been a tremendous relief for me...
I'm feeling optimistic.  I know the recovery has ups and downs, but now I understand the post transplantation dynamics.  
I think it's time to share with you the illustration made by Phoebe Scopes (who also went HSCT) that perfectly describes the situation I'm going through.

Thanks Phoebe!

Everybody take care
