I am starting to put my hospital bag together and it really hits me that I am going into the hospital next week for 2-3 weeks...and this is MAJOR!
People ask me if I am scared or anxious about the procedure. I am surprisingly calm about everything that is happening...and I have been from the beginning of my treatment. I am confident that the stem cell transplant will work, so I guess that is why I am not afraid.
I know I will be very sick in the next few weeks. I know that I will be very weak in the coming months. No going out to the mall, or for DQ or Menchies (dispensaries of anything are a no-no), no Friday night Johnny Rocco's calzone...no casino or movie theatre evenings...not for a long while. :(
I am sad and frustrated that this is happening to me at this point in my life, but I am not afraid. I have so many friends and I have wonderful family around me that I feel so strong - physically, mentally, emotionally. I can and will do this. :)
I will have my Ipad and laptop at the hospital and will be subscribing to the Internet package (rip-off) so I will be in contact with all of you in some form or another.
I love you all for caring about me. Caring enough to read my blog and check in on me. I am truly blessed for each and every one of you.
