In the Hospital

I've been in the Hospital for the past few days. I'd been running a temperature for a couple days, but on Thursday, it got high enough for them to be concerned about, so they sent me to the UW hospital. At UW, they did some blood tests, and found an infection, so I've been on antibiotics. My temp got as high as 104, but now everything has pretty much returned to normal. My doc at SCCA said that about 95% of transplant patients spend some time in the hospital, and they were really surprised that at 8 days post transplant, I still hadn't been hospitalized.

It's actually kind of nice to be here because I have access to broad band internet. Having to endure dialup for the last two weeks has almost been more torturous than anything else. Until I started my conditioning, I could take my computer to a coffe shop, and catch up on everything from there, but once my white blood cell counts got too low, I wasn't allowed in public places like that. Apparently fabric stores are okay though...

On my first full day here, Becky and Jenn stopped by on their lunch break, and Ma & Pa have been here every day. I'll probably be out of here today or tomorrow.
