It happened! I got my call on Sunday, July 25th at 2:50am. I can hardly believe it! The past two weeks have been the most amazing of my life, hands down. The transformation, the recovery, and all the love I felt. After spending about 14 hours in ICU, I was transferred to the transplant step-down unit where I could see huge improvements every single day. I feel so lucky to be on this side of life. It was such a positive experience- challenges and all.
Today I was discharged! It was emotional. It was perfect. My three support people (my husband, mom and sister-in-law) and I celebrated with pizza and cupcakes at our hotel! My first round of transplant meds are done! Just finishing up some Tobi before checking my bedtime blood sugar and consulting my new sliding scale. I hope I sleep okay tonight. I have been so excited the last two nights that I barely slept. My nurse kept laughing that I was like a little kid at Christmas. A little kid that got the best present ever!
My wonderful husband provided updates over facebook over the last two weeks, but I want to record my journey here as well. I will try to add a bit every day.
I also heard that Cystic Gal got her transplant. Sending lots of positive healing vibes and love your way CG!
Wow, that is amazing. So glad things are going smoothly for you. Keep on that positive track! Congratulations.
