I have been back to work in person for nearly 3 weeks and I am tired. Our office moved and everything seems to be in boxes. The students no longer have their own space, so they are right with us. We have an event our department puts on for foster parents Friday and my supv has let me do most the work. I think he had students do it the year i worked from home. OMG. Tomorrow i have just some to do. I tried to get most done yesterday and today. This is possible because a year past transplant i feel great. I wondered if i would get my steps in and I realize if I walk in the morning, I get all i need.
So the Friday event i will go in to set up for 1.5 hours. Talk with the facilities guys to make sure it is set up. At 8:30am I have my friend joining me to take the train to the City of Hope. It is their annual Bone Marrow Transplant reunion. My very 1st year!!! There was no way i was going to miss it. Day 385 past transplant. I look forward to hearing the success of so many and hearing from patients meeting their donor and more.
I am needing to say i am still a transplant patient. My hair growing longer is so good, but as my NP said when she asked if i had returned back to work last month. She said you are still needing to take care. You are only a year out and your body is still adapting to its new system. So far not too many hiccups. I also have my check up on May 2nd after the event. I will ask the DR or the NP, whomever i see, what did the BMB show about my blood type. Those statistics are not on the results i get. As bacher said above, the BMT recovery is ongoing. The 26yr old donor has settled in with my body, but more time to make me the forever home needs to happen.
