Paul,

Congratulations on being sprung from jail. My wife actually felt a little nervous when she was first let out of her isolation room, after being cocooned for 3 weeks, but it's an important sign of success.

Those laps around the hall can give you both a mental and physical boost, even though the scenery gets to be a bit boring after the 10th time around.

During the whole course of this disease, we're advised to note our blood counts but not hang all of our hopes on a single CBC test. I guess the same goes for the critical weeks post-transplant, but it's hard not to cheer or feel disappointment at the direction they seem to be going day by day. Platelets come around in time, but it's the neutrophils I'd watch most closely.

Keep up the great work!
