@loribmt no we’re only about an hour away, but we are being House at the lodge here on the grounds of the Mayo Clinic so that’s really awesome. I have no complaints about that whatsoever and I had my counseling this am just certain days and times I just feel like I’m all alone, but the doctor came in. Everything is going great so I’m gonna just try not to worry so much but I appreciate you reaching out to me that it helps it really does

Good morning, @rsp21224 I’m happy to hear everything is going great in the recovery. Is this Day +6? I know 100 days seems like an impossible milestone right now. The proverbial one day at a time really takes on a new meaning when everything seems to be happening in slow motion.

Generally week two in recovery has all the ‘feels’ from the preconditioning chemo. Like the worst case of the flu…exhaustion, lethargy, aching, napping, low mental attitude…it’s all there but it will pass! Hang in there because life gets better for both of you!

This past week, two of my BMT friends here in Connect, posted some photos that wouldn’t be possible if they or a loved one hadn’t gone through the transplant procedure. I hope these photos will bring encouragement and inspiration for you and your husband. The photos are in a discussion I started several years ago called Snapshots of Hope: Life on the other side of transplant. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/snapshots-of-hope-life-on-the-other-side-of-transplant/

@g4c recently posted his trip to Colorado hiking some 14 thousand + foot mountains at 3 years post.
