The Journey Continues: Week 12 after transplant

This week the visit for check up was an all day affair.  We left at eight and got back to Enid around five.  The new cancer center in Oklahoma City is really nice.  This was the fourth week in the new building.

It started with Richard hooked up to an IV for around two hours to get his immunoglobins.  He did get a free lunch though but then he said it just didn't taste that good.  His taste has been off for a while.  He said nothing taste right and some things just taste bad.

The Dr. did tell him she thought he was doing well.  His white blood counts were low again and he did get a shot for that.  She seemed excited that he was able to receive the A+ blood and said that is why his blood counts had been low.  His kidney function levels were a little high and she lowered the dose on the medicine that causes that to happen.  He has been coughing and hacking up stuff but they didn't say anything when they listened to his chest.

He is really tired of this journey.  He is ready to feel rested and do something he likes, maybe a game of golf or going on short vacation.  I have reminded him that they said it could take up to a year to completely recover and I got a dirty look.  I think that when he is able to do some of these things it will be a sweet victory.
