Day +1: First Day After Transplant

It was a good day. Ron felt much better. His appetite is much improved, and both of us are glad that transplant day is behind us. One of the studies that Ron is a part of requires him to record his exercise. He has a pedometer, and he will chart his steps daily. At this time he has to stay on the unit; this will be the case for about two weeks.
Once again we have so much praise for the nurses who care for Ron. The nurse practitioner is excellent; she does such a thorough job of explaining things to us, and never makes us feel rushed. She grew up in Sturgis, Michigan...about 18 miles from where we live. There is a real sense of community in Unit 8-A. Yes, it was a good day.
