Well have no fear Adam is back. My lovely wife was kind enough to bring the laptop to the hospital so I could work on it from bed. So let me inform you of all the wonderful things that I got to do on my days off from writing.
I am currently stuck in my bed all the time with the exceptions of sudden and violent bouts of nausea and or diarrhea. My main problem has been guessing which end to point towards the toilet, since both the diarrhea and the nausea feel exactly the same at the very beginning. I'm starting to get the shakes which is a common side-effect from the ATG, but makes it that much harder to get anywhere in a big hurry.
On a happier note, Today was my last chemo day. I really hope that I never have to go through that again. I will admit that despite my best efforts I came to pieces on more than one occasion. I think that November 7th was the hardest since I was aware that after the last bag of Busulfin came off I would never be able to back out of this procedure. I was also the most messed up on the 7th. I haven't been dreaming so my only active memories of the seventh and eighth are of blood and vitals being drawn, puking, and watching the walls spin. I actually had some soup today!
So it sounds like I've got a three day break before they start hitting me with more severe drugs so I'm going to relax and enjoy my wife's company for the night.
