Day 16

Technically its been day17 for about 3 hours now, but i this is going to be short so whatever. got platelets and blood today, and those always make me feel a little better. white count is at zero still. checked with doc just to confirm that nothing crazy is going on and she set me at ease, saying engraftment usually happens within 14-28 days, and that i'm on the early side right now. see what happens when some of you folks start freaking me out? anyway, throat pain is just short of a distant memory. doc said to me the yesterday that it looked like i was retaining some fluid. i didn't necessarily agree until i started hitting the head every five minutes this morning. got plenty of sleep last night and even a nap this morning but here i am swooning in front of the laptop again. think i just took a nap with eyes open looking at the screen, so that's a good sign to hang it up. gonna concentrate on keeping it as "boring" as possible, as the rounding doc puts it. okay take care.
