Day Zero

Today was the big day - the stem cells flew in overnight and apparently the lab tests showed they're really good quality cells, so only one bag was needed. My mom and fiance were here with me and brought in apple juice to do a to a toast in lieu of champagne.

Yesterday was a Bad Day for me - first I've been nauseous, followed by a headache and fever and vomiting. But today was a new day, and I felt much better today, getting my appetite back with a big portion of baked mac & cheese for dinner (yesterday I couldn't face much food and even threw up the supplement drink)!

Now the waiting begins....
