100 Days..

After having a transplant everyone talks about the magical '100 days'.   It seems that if you make it to the 100 day mark you will be automatically feeling fantastic and life will start up again just like before.....well that's what I had hoped....

Initially Doctors informed me it could take up to a year to recover from a bone marrow transplant but I have always thought, 'I'm young...I'll only need six months'.  However things aren't that simple and I have been a rather 'complex' patient.   A few curved balls have come my way the past 3 months and I am continuing to be tested.

Even though my health isn't perfect at the moment you still have to celebrate your successes and 100 days, reached last week, is a great achievement. After being taken off some pretty strong medications recently I'm starting to feel a bit like a normal human being again.....and my hair is growing back thicker and darker than ever!  And my eyebrows....well that's another story!
