Roaming the halls

Yesterday we infused the second four bags of stem cells and afterward I took a little roam around the transplant floor.  The floor is divided into two sections, based on the source of the cells the transplant patient is receiving. Autologous transplants (self donors) are in my section, which faces I95, and allogenic transplants (having stem cells donated from others) are on the other side, facing Broad Street.

I didn't sleep much last night, and so have been a little groggy today. I've also received a second round of Palifermin shots, which has turned me beet red again and made me more than a little bit puffy in the face. But at least I still have my hair. :)

All of this was more than made up for by an all-day visit from Jane which has done wonders for lifting my mood.  It was nice just to sit and talk and hang out. She'll come by again tomorrow before going back to C'ville to relieve my parents who have somehow occupied the kids for 2 days.

I took a few more pix of my new accommodations.
