Hi everyone who are following me on my journey to Puebla, Mexico!! Thank you so much for coming with me! I appreciate all of you who supported me financially and who continue to support me in prayer!
I decided to try my hand at blogging my experience so I can look back and remember this!! First of all, I want to thank my Lord Jesus who goes with me wherever I go! I want to thank you, my supporters who may be interested in what I am going through. And lastly, I thought this would help others who are considering HSCT for MS.
Things I have had to do to get ready to go:
- Researching about HSCT. Asking a lot questions!
- Applying to Mexico to have HSCT.
- Getting accepted! Yay!!
- Flights booked.
- 1st night hotel booked. (We'll be staying in an apartment the rest of the time.)
- Doctor appointments made and done. (Neurologist, GP, Dentist, cleaning).
- Fundraising ongoing!
- Shopping for a whole list of items needed.
- Taking a lot of supplements prescribed by my doctor to get my cells in the best shape for chemo.
- Working out at the YMCA 1 day/week. MS swim class 1-2 days/wk.
- Trying to gain weight! Thanks to my husband who cooks for me, and thanks to my friends for encouraging me to eat!
- I am getting my hair cut short and donating it to Wigs for Kids! I will eventually lose my hair due to the chemo!
- I will pack as it gets closer to going.
Thanks for coming along with me!! I hope to stop the progression of my MS!!
