T+3

Good morning. I had a pretty good day yesterday. In fact, I didn't sleep at all during the day and so last night, with some pharmaceutical assistance, got what around here goes for a full night's sleep. My bood pressure has been pretty high and that's been causing me some concern. But I just learned that it's a common side effect of one of the drugs I'm taking. The "TACRO" is anti-GvHD (Graft vs. Host Disease) I'm on a 24-hr. drip of it now and will have to continue taking it in pill form for at least 3 months. At least now, knowing that the HBP is from that, I'm not as worried about it.

I just took a shower and whew! that'll make you feel so much better! And it's not like I haven't showered in a week, either. I've been showering at lease every other day, but just showering makes everything feel better...that and the fact that it's a sunny day. Ahhhhhhh, finding joy in the easy things :)

I'm still using my internal imaging system to help get those new stem cells moved in and up and running in their new space. I've got this entire cartoon family assembly line visualized and, though comical, it's helping me to get the job done.

Thank you all for the cards and gifts and prayers and wishes. You never let me forget that I'm not alone within these 4 (albeit spacious, riverview) walls. And to so many of my "long lost" folks out there, it's great to hear from you, especially now!

More later.
