consultant visited and says all going according to plan. He gives me something
to look forwards to 7 to 10 days after the transplant there should be an indication
that the transplant has started to get to work.
I need to trust that the Germans will be scoring lots of goals in the World
Transplant Cup (aka Mike Winterbottom). So over the next 3 or 4 days they expect my blood counts to start rising.
And for me the first external evidence of this will be when they stop the cyclosporine
drip and can give me the drug in tablet form. Once that step is taken they will
let me go home.
So
today for me is a psychological watershed. I should be able to go home between 21
and 28 days after admission. I am over half way there.
Some
more platelets transfused – this is what they look like
And
they have my new blood group.
