Day -1

It's the day before the transplant, the day of chemotherapy. Joan and I just got up, it's 6AM and we're due at the hospital at 8AM. I don't know when I'll be able to post again, it depends on how I feel. Thanks to all of you who have been walking through this forest with me. I'll post as soon as I can.
It's 3:30PM, I had my chemo from 12 to 1PM with lots of ice chips from 12 to 2:30, so far so good - thank you God. I'm being IV hydrated and had diuretic via IV as well. I'm also drinking water by the gallon and going to the John about every 15 minutes. I record the volume of my deposit and post it on a grease board so the nurses can record it to my record, generally about 450ML, I think, per deposit. If I was a two year old, I'd be proud.
