Feeling good on Day 5 is great news, Nina. Getting a little better and a little stronger each day is the key. From my experience, it may not always be steady progress, but the good days should outnumber any bad days as you recover from your transplant. Optimism is one of the best medicines, and it's free!
Mucositis is certainly a lousy side effect and Day 5 is pretty typical for when it starts. It is likely to get worse for a few days but then it typically subsides. Soft bland food will probably be easiest on your mouth and, as you noticed, ice can help. My wife used to send me to find popsicles for her so she'd get the moisture and cold plus a little bit of flavor.
On to Day 6!
