Day + 7

Doing good! Looking good!
Two weeks in captivity, haven’t lost my mind yet. Hopefully only one more week or less.

Getting a cold pint of blood today, other than that just chillin’.

Check out this cool Kellogg’s shirt. I’m stylin’ Up in here.

Day + 6

Doing well, really well.
Doctors and nurses impressed that I am doing so well and tell me to keep it up. The key is getting out of bed and staying active throughout the day. (Well, as active as I can be in a hospital room) I take daily 20-30 minute walks around the 4th floor pod.
So far (knock on wood) , I have not been that  impacted by the horror show of symptoms I could have gotten from the chemo.
A little indigestion, like heart burn and feeling tired here and there. Nothing that some Malox, and a nap can’t fix!
My goal is to be outta here by Saturday, but that might be a little aggressive. (According to the nurse)

Had a fresh bag of platelets for breakfast, and may get some blood tomorrow depending on labs.

Go cells go!

Oh, and thank god for Shark Week!

Day +5

Oil pressure is good, but I’m low on some transmission fluids. (Platelets and white blood cells)
Kind of makes me a bleeding and infection risk. No worries , I’m super careful.

A 30 minute walk yesterday surprisingly got me a little exhausted.

My amazing wife bought me an incumbent stationary bike for when I get home. It should slowly whip me into shape in no time.

Gonna get started on this today
Go cells go!

Still plodding along on this marathon. Feeling fine.
Doctor tells me that typically I should be sent home between day +10 and day + 14. I’m shooting for day +10. (Next Saturday)
Go cells go!

Day +3

10 days in captivity. My captors although polite, will not let me leave.

All is well. Doctors and nurses keep telling me to just keep doing what ever it is I’m doing.

Still trying to find away to sneak my dogs up!

Here’s my next project: it’s over two feet tall.

Day +2

All is well!
Just waiting on these blood labs to improve. (Now I’m asking the doctors everyday if I can go home!)
I know it’s gonna be a week or two, but hey, I can ask.
I have been semi-productive. Check out this Apollo Lunar lander:

Day + 1

Go cells go!
Feeling good today!
Now it’s just a matter of watching my blood labs bounce around. Drops in numbers are expected, as some die off, but new ones are on the way.
Needed a fresh cold packet of O pos this morning. (Which come with hourly vitals taken. With the nurses, doctors, house cleaning etc, my room should have a revolving door. )
I’m eating healthy and staying active both physically and mentally. Can’t wait to bust out of this place!
