My Overachieving Stem Cells

Today was day +10 although it feels more like I've been here for a year. Since last posting I have experienced the worst days, by far. Several of which I barely even left my bed or did anything but sleep(in drugged up fashion). I have had a LOT of nausea and even broke my 15yr no vomiting streak, which I am not real happy about.  The shots they've been giving me give me a lot of bone/muscle pain and I'm pretty weak which makes it hard to get up and moving around. They say exercise is the best thing for recovery so I've tried to get out and walk around the floors at least once or twice a day. Brooke has been here on and off with my mom and she really kicks my butt when she's here. I have had to receive 3 platetet transfusions and 2 blood transfusions which is never any fun.(I don't know, I just prefer my own, Thanks.) The last several days I have started to feel a little better. Most of the symptoms are starting to abate a little, except for the nausea, which I am still struggling to keep at bay.

So, on to those stem cells. They were a bit slow to get going but they seem to be roaring now. My absolute neutrophil count (which is the one they are really watching to see if I can go home) has gone from 0 to 288 to 1591. If I'm at 1500 for 2 days I get outta here! So it looks like I'll be going home tomorrow night or have to do some butt kicking and get out of here tomorrow night! I don't care if I still feel like death. GET ME OUTTA HERE! I can feel bad and be nauseous in the comfort of my own home. I can't wait to see my kids, sleep in my own bed, get to hang out with my wife, and not be bothered 5 times in the middle of every night.

Thank you, everyone for your prayers and support. It has meant a lot to me.

On an unrelated note it looks like one of the buyers that looked at our house has narrowed it down to ours and one other. They came to pick up the utility etc. info tonight. So cross your fingers and give us one more prayer if you've got one that we can sell this house. We are ready to move on to the next chapter.

  1. Your car could be stolen if you don't keep this in mind!

    Consider that your car was taken! When you approach the police, they inquire about a specific "VIN search"

    A VIN decoder is what?

    Similar to a passport, the "VIN decoder" allows you to find out the date of the car's birth and the identity of its "parent" (manufacturing facility). Additionally, you can find:

    1.Type of engine

    2.Automobile model

    3.The limitations of the DMV

    4.The number of drivers in this vehicle

    The location of the car will be visible to you, and keeping in mind the code ensures your safety. The code can be viewed in the online database. The VIN is situated on various parts of the car to make it harder for thieves to steal, such as the first person sitting on the floor, the frame (often in trucks and SUVs), the spar, and other areas.

    What if the VIN is intentionally harmed?

    There are numerous circumstances that can result in VIN damage, but failing to have one will have unpleasant repercussions because it is illegal to intentionally harm a VIN in order to avoid going to jail or calling the police. You could receive a fine of up to 80,000 rubles and spend two years in jail. You might be held up on the road by a teacher.

    Conclusion.

    The VIN decoder may help to save your car from theft. But where can you check the car reality? This is why we exist– VIN decoders!
