Not qood day, water is up between mouth and nose, got to get it down, very tired of treading water today.
What a day, started out to be repeat of yesterday and went way down hill from there. Started getting nauseated about 11 a.m. and just kept getting worse, more medicine to counteract the medicine. This is one of those days you should never try and get out of bed.
Wanted to talk today about the Donor Search. I had never heard of a Bone Marrow Registery before this all come up. Anyone can try and Be The Match for another human in need. I do not know any more rewarding feeling than knowing that you could be the one to save a life of someone else. I as far a I read the donation process for the Donor has been simplified so much over the years. the person donating is given cell growth shots for about a week before transplant and then on day of transplant they are hooked up to machine which takes blood out of one arm, filters out the cells, and blood is returned to donor. Cells are given to recepient within 12 hrs. of collection. My donor could be from anywhere in the world. They fly the cells in if from far enough away, I think that is interesting. Another tidbit, my blood will be come to the type of the Donor. If they are negative I will be negative even though I am positive now. So many fascinating things about this.
I am very fuzzy tonight, will write more tomorrow.
Love,
Linda
