Everything is looking good according to my doctor. My GVHD rash is almost completely gone so that means we can start lowering my steroid dose. Once I am off the steroids I will be able to get back to my "normal" self. I never realized how much steroids affects your mental state. That has been the hardest adjustment. Once I am off the steroids things will get a lot better. I am still weak, but I am getting out of the house and walking more. I am going to start physical therapy so that should help me a lot to regain my strength. I have been keeping myself busy by knitting hats. I am getting pretty good at it. Now I need to learn how to make scarfs. I am 40 days post transplant and I can't believe it's been over a month since I got my new stem cells. I will say it has been a hard 40 days, but I think things are finally settling down and I am starting to recover from the transplant. Thanks for checking in on me and keeping me in your prayers. I know that is what is helping me get thru this.
Love,
Sam
