Day 5

July 23rd, 2008

Today started with a doctor’s round and then accupuncture. I must say I find the latter most relaxing…a mood to be broken this afternoon when I have my first stem cell infusion by lumbar puncture.

I was very nervous when going into the transfusion room. I had an I.V.I. insitu so I received a small dose of intravenous valium. It was not  too bad at all. I returned to my room and lay flat for a little more than 6 hours. When I got up I had a very slight headace but otherwise I felt fine. I found that after two hours sitting with my legs in the dependent position that their colour remained good (rather than the blotchy, mottled colour they would otherwise be). My right hand was also straighter. So far so good! I also has a good night’s sleep (a normal trait).
