The Lingo

Okay, today is my second day in the hospital and I am using terms like day -2, day -1, etc.. Here is what they told me.

Day zero is the day they give me my new immune system by giving me my stem cells back. That day will be tomorrow. Today is day -1, and yesterday was day -2. Tomorrow will be day zero. Saturday will be day 1, and Sunday day 2, etc. I hope that helps.

  • Wednesday July 15th = day -2
  • Thursday July 16th = day -1
  • Friday July 17th = day 0 (get my stem cells)
  • Saturday July 18th = day 1 etc. etc

I’m feeling pretty good so far. I’m taking the pictures of myself daily to track how this process will be changing my body. Thanks to all for the wonderful support and prayers!

    Yes !! D-DAY !!

    Today is liberation day and the start of rebuilding your “new health”.
    Let the stem cells do their work and make you even stronger then you allready are.

    To say it with a twist…. ;o)
