Hi @avaleir! I’ve been thinking about you and expected you were getting close to Day Zero! So August 1st is your big Re-birth day! This certainly isn’t the way you anticipated spending your first year of marriage, but hey, this gets the ‘sickness and worse’ parts over in your marriage vows…(sickness and health, for better or worse) 😉 Joking aside, I’m so glad for you that you’re able to get the transplant taken care of and onto recovery!

I think I mentioned before that @katgob had her transplant just over 100 days ago @mary612 husband is coming up on 50 days, I believe. @alive @edb1123 @kt2013 @jenmkr63 @tkidd51 along with myself, are just a few of several members who have had transplants over the years. So don’t hesitate to ask us anything that may ease your mind or your journey!’

Being at Mayo, I know you’re in the best of care. Your team will do their ultimate to keep you comfortable and provide everything you’ll need for your successful outcome.
If I remember correctly, the kitchen, at least at Mayo-Rochester closed after 6:00PM. I had meds to take in the middle of the night and couldn’t eat the pudding and other goodies in the transplant fridge (lactose intolerant) so I’d order extra banana bread to take with my late night meds…so plan ahead if you or your husband want snacks! 😉

When you’re up to it, please keep in touch. Our journeys become survival guides for other newbies who are going along the same path. Sending an air-hug!
