Today is a big day! My stem cells are being harvested as I write this! My pretest showed approximately 45 million stem cells. I need 1 million per kg, I weigh 45 kg, but I will probably get more! 45 million is enough according to my body weight, but I'm praying for more!
Being hooked up to this apharesis machine is weird! Seeing you blood leaving your body and then seeing your blood cells being collected into a bag! We can not leave to go to the bathroom. Everyone had to wear or diapers. Fun times !!! No modesty here !!
Doctor Arguelles Ruiz (the big guy) just checked in with us to see how we were doing! He is so kind!!
(Yesterday we got our PICC lines put in at the
Puebla Hospital).
This is for my nurse friends. They made a very big deal of it! Things we did right at the bedside in SICU!! We were admitted to the hospital. I went first! We had a beautiful room! I was taken to the OR, and given an IV.
I don't know what anesthesia was given, but it was gooood!! I didn't feel a thing,! Just slept right through it! Also doctor Lovee who I've named doctor D, or doctor delicious was in the OR with me😍😍 He is so cute! Young enough to be my son! Lol! We've had fun amongst ourselves and with the doctors!!
We have had a lot of good laughs😀 We have to try and make it fun😀
You have to eat a liquid diet before going home!
I just finished my stem cell collection !! Yay !!!
We just found out our numbers ...
309 million stem cells !!!! Woohoo😀😀😀😀!
Now onto 5 hours of chemo! Yay. I think ??
