@loribmt well, there you go. In short, it sucks. I found the 28 day hospital stay the worst part. Constant interrupting. The alarms on fluids are a nightmare. It's just major discomfort really. Not painful just a mental trip. You'll make it.

Hi, @dar123 Welcome to Mayo Connect. Congratulations on your bone marrow transplant. Sounds like you’ve gotten through the more challenging early days. My experience was a little different with being an out-patient at Mayo-Rochester. I had to return to the clinic daily but thankfully not confined to a hospital room. That would get old pretty quickly! But you made it!
If you don’t mind sharing a little more about yourself, what was the diagnosis that led you to a bone marrow transplant? How long ago was the transplant? Was it an allo or auto?
