It's Day +100. In the BMT world it's considered a milestone.
Eric's milestone this week was getting a haircut! First one he's needed in almost a year... Other than that we are trying to ignore blood counts and focus on living life and feeling good.
For anyone who has dieted you know how the scale can dictate how you you feel that day? Even if everything is wonderful, a pound up can ruin your day... Blood counts can do the same thing. We have an entire medical team who can watch blood counts, so we are trying to let them do that. It's hard. When you life depends on this working, it's overwhelming.
But what's the point of getting through a transplant unless you are going to enjoy the life you have been given? So that's the focus - enjoy the day.
Eric - Happy Day 100! Sounds like an excuse to celebrate!
