My Bone Marrow Transplant: Day 20

I slept fairly well that night in spite of having to go to the bathroom often.  A headache greeted me in the morning and I was given oxycodone to subdue it.

I was able to eat most of my breakfast and was hoping at least something on my stomach would get it to working. My counts were excellent that morning: WBC 1.2 and neutrophils .390.  Those two numbers indicate my ability to fight off infection and I was happy to see they were increasing so quickly.

I vomited three times that day.  Mostly bile but also blood one time.  My stomach was not a happy camper and I felt miserable.   I was nauseated all day long and any type of movement seemed to trigger vomiting. The plan for the rest of the day was to just not move.
