This week brought much progress. My appetite is slowly increasing and now includes solid foods; however, my taste buds are still being difficult. The constant metallic taste that remains in my mouth keeps me from enjoying most of what I eat. I found that sucking on hard candy helps to keep the taste bearable, so there may be a trip to my dentist in the near future. The best part of eating is that I no longer have to get fluids! I've lost over 10 lbs, but half of that I gained intentionally prior to the transplant knowing that I would lose weight. For a few weeks in January, I was eating like I was auditioning for the Biggest Loser.
My blood work yesterday found my white blood cells remain a little low at 3.2 (normal is 3.5 -11); however, my Dr. has cleared me to get out and about as long as I'm not in crowds or near anyone sick. Very exciting news! My red blood cells and hemoglobin remain low, so my energy level is still an issue, but increasing every day.
Thanks to everyone for your comments and support of my blog. It's nice to know that others are right there beside me during this time.
