100 days

Yes on Sunday, I passed the 100 days since my stem cell transplant. Its been a bit of an adventure. My previous blogs and Facebook postings bear the testimony of the horror the heavy dose chemotherapy inflicts on its victims, yet no matter how impossible it all seemed at the time, life has got so much better.  I am able to get out and about in my wheelchair, I take very few drugs now and I hope to go back to work soon. The hospital are very pleased with my progress as is my excellent physiotherapist Dan. Today (day 101) I walked a few steps, the first since March. It was albeit with the aid of a frame but nevertheless it felt good and the notion of "first steps" was not lost on me. I have to thank so many friends and family for the support and help I've been given throughout the illness and recovery and whilst I still have a great deal to do yet, I feel now I am truly on my way to getting better and eventually being free of the wheelchair. I probably wont post now for a while unless something dramatic happens (maybe Wales winning the Rugby World Cup - ok maybe not) but I will write again when I have something to say.
