All,

Well, yesterday’s transplant went quite well. A little weird on the receiving end… the frozen cells rolled into my hospital room inside a stainless steel liquid nitrogen container that looked like R2D2. The cells are normally maintained at minus 160 degrees C, and had to be warmed in a liquid bath immediately before being pumped into my veins. The entire procedure took about an hour from start to finish…. then I was real tired and just wanted to sleep.

I got a good nights sleep last night, compared to Wednesday night which was awful… I am connected to a continuous feed IV pump that is very loud – had to get used to that thing clanging all night long.

Not real easy typing in this hospital bed – perhaps I’ll write more when I can get more comfortable.
