Hi Lori,
My transplant was on March 6 and I am at day +29 post transplant. I thought I would be feeling better by now. Maybe I am not as patient as I thought. We are at GOL right now which has been fine. I'm not a fan of the shared kitchen/smells and all the limitations. Contemplating a move. Thx for your response.

Oh my gosh, Sally, I missed the date! March 6th! I try keep notes to make sure I don’t miss out on anyone’s big day. Quickly looking back, thankfully @katgob was ‘Johnny on the spot’ to congratulate you! That’s what I love about this forum! We are such a cohesive team of support!

At Day+30 you’re still very early in the recovery. The first month is usually the roughest, so that’s out of the way! Now it’s a slow, steady, daily progression to gaining strength and stamina. Sorry to say, there’s no rushing this part! LOL. So this will be a test of your patience. It was for me too. I found if I pushed too hard, then I’d have a day or so of feeling exhausted. It’s really important to listen to your body. If it calls for rest, do it! This is your moment to be queen for the day…for the next several months. 😅

As for moving from GOL. I know it’s a wonderful facility but I’m with you. My husband and I knew that the shared community life wouldn’t be for us so that’s why we opted for the hotel suite.

Here is a link to another discussion that lists long term options for lodging:

Please accept my apology for not checking in sooner, Sally. Let me know where you land if you change locations. And please, feel free to share your BMT transplant story here with us.
Are you feeling stronger daily? Any nausea?
