Sorry about the delay since my last post. I've had a couple of worried emails..  In fact they classified my case as 'uneventful' and moved me to a different ward. Still in isolation, but bigger room and no internet (or CCTV!).   It took a few days to reactivate the mobile doobrey I was using to connect to the internet in the other hospital, and I've had a couple of days where a change of drugs has wiped me out and I've been doing very little but sleep and doze.
 
By the way - being classified as an uneventful case was good news.  What these docs classify as 'eventful' would probably be painful and possibly life threatening....    In my case they'd been looking for signs of GVHD for several days and hadn't found any.
I'd misunderstood the sequence. I thought that GVHD followed that transplant straight away and automatically. In fact it can pop up at any time after engraftment though usually it's sooner rather than later. 
 
When I got up here to K20North they were planning to observe till Monday, take a bone marrow sample then and assuming it all looked good release me later in the week. But since I've been here the diarrhoea has returned plus a couple of new rashes (that may be just fungal infections - then again they may not).   So suddenly since yesterday I'm back on the IV food, nil by mouth, steroid immunosuppressants, IV antifungals instead of pill form etc etc.  This will last for 3 -4 days. Then they'll stop the steroids and see what happens.  It all seems a bit hit and miss to me  - but I suppose that every case is different, and they just have to react to what happens.
 
Some good news is that my neutrophil counts have stabilised. For the past three or four days the numbers have been hovering between 1.5 and 2, without artificial assistance :)
 
Anyway - that's my lot for today. I'm tired and the drugs are doing odd things to my sleep cycles and energy levels.  Don't miss the next exciting episode - same Bat Time, same Bat Channel!
