Mucocitis Waning

Location: BMT Room, Hospital, Pune

Two saline bottles tether me by means of tubes.  To a distant observer it would seem like the saline trolley is the puppeteer and I - the puppet.  And I would lie if I tell that I am not one. Rewind a day back and you would find me bedridden, with fever and high pulse rate, barely able to speak and making frequent trips to the bathroom because of loose motions.  Couple of antibiotics "strings" were attached to me on that day and here I am, writing to you, feeling much much better. Mucocitis in mouth has almost disappeared.  Body temperature and pulse are also normal.

God bless the inventors of antibiotics!

  2. you're feeling better than yesterday.

    BTW - I watched "Hangover" yesterday. Very funny movie. And the feelings you describe - barely able to speak, frequent trips to the bathroom, loss of appetite - sound familiar ;) Are you sure it's just saline that you're on?

  3. ... that first line was supposed to be "Thrilled to know you're feeling better than yesterday!" (I haven't completely figured out how to edit comments here)

    Nice to know that you are much better. wish that the steam cell carry on the good work and built a strong foundation (so as to get rid of loose motions)
