Day 56

Hi Everyone, sorry I haven't posted for so long. I'm in recovery mode at home since my transplant and there hasn't been a lot to report. I began an exercise routine soon after I got home. Needless to say my mind thought my body could do more than it was willing to do. I started on the upright Swinn airdyne bike and thought I could do 20 minutes and suceeded at 5 minutes. Joanie suggested adding 1 minute per day to the routine and now I'm up to 35 minutes plus I've added Melissa's stretch routines back into the mix. Exercise really helps with the recovery process. My labs came back with almost everything in the normal range and no measurable M-Spike which means no measurable cancer. The only crappy thing that has occured is an itchy rash on my face which apparently others who have had a stem cell transplant have experienced. Anyway, it's on my list of things to talk to my oncologist about. We're all excited about Amy and Kevin's wedding in May. I hope I have hair on my bald dome by then.
