Day 1 IPOP

We had our first night at The Tremont Park last night and are settled with all our stuff. It is smaller than McElderry but it is nice to not have to deal with stairs to and from the kitchen. Also, I can wipe down a smaller space easier to keep clean. We do have daily cleaning if we want it, but we may just do it ourselves.

I had some crazy dreams with the meds and a little nausea during the night, nothing bad. My appetite is almost back but some smells do turn me off. So now we really are trying to remember the little details like to take my temp 3 times a day, when to take the many anti-biotics, to wash my mouth after meals, wash hands, wear mask, keep excercising, oh and see some of Baltimore!

I will post my labwork which we should get back today. My white, red, and platelets should be going down here within a few days. Oh and I was reminded I need to look at my vitamins because they can't have any iron in them. You don't want to have and iron build up if /when I get a blood transfusion.

We figured out how to talk with Graham with Ichat so we could torture ourselves. Maybe Skype will work better with him moving around so much. He had fun plastering his face close to the camera and shining his flashlight at us. I showed off my painted pasta necklace he made for me and tried to get descriptions of the many pictures he sends us.

I am glad we are in a better area so we can venture out to some shops if we want to. I also don't have to worry about Andrew walking alone to the store=)
