2 Months

It's already two months after transplantation.  In fact, it was yesterday, but I couldn't write in my blog.  My mom's birthday was on the 25th and because I exceeded a bit with some food, yesterday I couldn't stop vomiting... Ok, it's my fault.  I accept full responsibility, but I felt awful...

Today I feel weak...

On the last month I started feeling more myself.  Previously, I felt kind of a zombie: half asleep, half awaken.  I've started thinking about plans for the future for the period after my recovery... and that's very possitive.
I've been slightly improving in some exercises, but lifting my heel 1cm feels like reaching the Everest! There's still a lot to do with physiotherapy and, I've been told, it's for life. 
I no longer have the Cytomegalovirus!!! 
I take this opportunity to wish you and your families a very happy 2013 filled with beautiful moments to cherish in your hearts!!! and also health, money and love that are always welcome!!!
With all my heart...

4th Week!

Already four weeks! I must say I feel more "alive".  People who have seen me before and see me again say I look better, and I feel better too!

I had an appointment with the onco-hematologist and he said it takes a year for the immune system to recover.  He also said the prophylactic medications are one year long after HSCT in Chile unlike in Germany where you have to take them during six months.  The amount of medications I take have increased...

I keep doing rehabilitation with my PT three times a week and do it twice a week with the assistant nurse.

I know the road is very long, but I'm hopeful... 

Yesterday I could even attend to Gabriel's B-Day that was beautifully and fully organized by the mothers of my son's kindergarten class.  I was touched by their generosity and their friendship...          

You see...? I'm still surrounded by blessings.

3rd Week

The rehabilitation process is very long, and I experience fatigue and nausea that don't help at all.  I have to be patient... even more patient.  

Days go by between physiotherapy, bathroom, medicines, food, cream... My whole body is peeling and even the palms of my hands!!! but the exantema is finally gone... Now the itchiness comes from the skin peeling.. Phew!

A promising future is on sight and there is where I go, slowly but surely.

I haven't been out, except for doctors and exams, but today my mom took me on an hour drive tour and It was very nice.

The mothers of Gabriel's kindergarten class are organising his birthday for next Saturday, because his real b-day is in January and people are on Summer vacations.  One of them is going to bring the b-day cake, another the piñata, candies, gifts for the kids, small chairs and tables, and so on... I want to publicly thank Joyce Berman for being so sweet, concerned, philantropist, and mainly a good friend.

As you can see, I'm surrounded by blessings.

Take care
