How was recovery once you were back home? Did you have a caretaker? Do you have animals?
I hope you don't mind me asking you so many questions.

@thenester while you’re waiting for @bizzylizzy to reply, here is a like to Mayo Clinic’s caregiver guide. But there’s much more information than that…carefully look through the entire menu. You’ll see guides for
Autologous Stem Cell Transplant
Infection Prevention
Packing List
Helpful Apps

Do you have a caregiver lined up?

@thenester my husband was my caretaker. We have animals , 2 dogs. I kept them out of my room and didn’t allow them
To lick.
I did the simple cooking as I wanted to move around. Had a sleep every afternoon. Started 5 mins of gentle stretching yoga. Added a couple of minutes each day. Walked 200metres and the back. Added a bit further each day. Am now walking 4 kms easy including a few hills. Can now swim 40mins indoor. 274 days since my transplant.
We had deep cleaned the house before I had the transplant.
All in all, a good outcome 🙂
Best of luck. Know that it will finish. Looking back it went quickly for me and I have forgotten a lot of the tough days. Merciful memory.
Cheers
