Day 121

Joanie thinks she's coming down with a cold, so now I have to wear a mask around her and she's been banned to another bedroom. I hope she's wrong. They gave me my Neupogen in my lower abdomen (stomach) yesterday. It was my choice. I have an antinausea patch on my left arm and I didn't want to remove it and I'm not squemish about where I get the shots. When I had my knee replaced, I gave myself the shots of Cumaden in my abdomen, no big deal. Anyway, Joanie's going to stay in the car while I go in for my shots. I hope I don't have to wait to long.
Well we're back from the shooting gallery. They shot me in the underside of my right arm. There's two more days of shots and then they begin stem cell collection on Monday. I should have many baby stem cells floating around my blood stream by then.

    I am about to post the pictures of the "swabbing event", and I too will dream of baby stem cells.
