Bone marrow transplant patients are required to live within an hour of the hospital for 100 days after discharge. Serious complications can arise quickly, and most patients do require follow-up hospitalizations. Ron plans to be the exception. He is a great patient, virtually never complaining about anything they ask him to do.
Our first 24 hours in the apartment went well. I have things to organize yet, but the medication schedule is under control, and the visiting nurse helped refresh my IV infusion skills. Ron and I did run to Meijer early to pick up the morning newspapers that we like to read and a couple other things. He wears a mask, and is not allowed to go to stores during their busy hours. It felt good just doing a quick errand together. The little things don't seem so little any more.
