Day 52

Well I am slowly getting ready for rehab. Yesterday I fell down twice! The irony of it is that makes look like a great candidate for in patient rehab. I was standing with my walker and let go with one hand to lean over to my table then lost my balance and fell backwards. The fall wasn't bad, but I hit my head on the solid wood door to the bathroom. It rang my bell and gave me a knot on my head so I had to have a CT scan of my head. It was fine. Then later last night, Daddy was helping me to the bathroom and he turned around to close the door and let go of me for just a few seconds and my knee gave out and down I went backwards on the bathroom floor. At least I didn't hit my head. I just twisted my ankle so I had to go to xray at 11:30pm last night. Geez! Can I get any worse. Today I'm on bed rest. No getting out of bed. At least I can have pain killers for the soreness and throbbing. I'm going to make it. Just a slow process. 
As far as everything else, my health is doing good. My stomach problems have improved and  my white count is finally in a safe number. I needed to be between 3 and  4. I finally made it to 3.2. Yay! I can go to rehab when the dr's decide to let me go and they have a bed available. 
I'm sooo ready to go home, but I want to be as strong as possible. I'm willing to wait a little longer to come home. I still use my same motto as I did before transplant and that is "Whatever It Takes".  
Thank You for all your prayers! Love To All......................
