Into the Wild

Well I'm a Werewolf Baby and here I come ...
Haha well barring any set back between now and then I'll be getting outta here Tues and back out into the wild at day +18 post transplant.  Not a record but hey.  We had to spend a few days last week looking for the cause of fever that would come and go.  Turns out a bit of a rash I was getting is GvH [graft vs host disease or graft vs hammer as I like to call it] which was causing the fevers.  Little bit of a lot of prednisone and see ya later rash so long pantry.  Pretty early for GvH I thought but apparently engrafting like wildfire and these guys are ready to go.  This is also good as supposedly it means any leukemia cells left are under siege right now too lowering the odds of relapse.  GvL [graft vs Leukemia].  Anyway good work men lets just tone it down on the skin here. 
Nice to get out for sure but still have to realise up till +100 is a critical time and +365 being the next one with life stabilising a bit more after that.  My immune system is like a babies now so I'll have to be careful.
Well, might as well make the most of the location and head down the elevator and grab a Tims before I make my football picks.  Go Cats!  I think thats who I was watching yesterday??
Cheers.

  2. My favourite part about you is that you didn’t fill in any profile details- it’s entirely on brand. I would argue with you every single fucking day if I could.
