Great to see your post and glad you're doing well so far - You may feel worse in a few days - but that should pass - try and keep moving and eating - there's always Rice Krispees. They should be giving you medicines to help prevent/minimize GVHD - so I am hoping you will be pleasantly surprised on that front. Be really careful about infections - take showers, make sure the nurses are diligent in cleanliness habits, especially when changing the dressing for your catheter - and sanitize all the surfaces in your room often - especially door knobs, table tops etc. I found cleaning a helpful ritual. Music was also helpful. Keep it boring!

Best wishes,
Paul
