Hi Hopeful,

Exercise has been a large part of my life to date but now I find simple exertions make me gasp for breath. I did purchase a spinning bike and try to use it several times a week for an hour, it does not take much now to get my HR up to 130. The boredom of this fixed exercise compared to running is hard to overstate, it is a challenge just to get started each time.

I saw your posting after the procedures were complete, but I too was puzzled by the Dr's recommendation. However I did not question anything and both the transfusion and BMB were completed uneventfully. I hand carried the transfusion order and do recall that it was irradiated but not sure on the leukocyte depletion. I did not keep a copy of the order but will in the future and will discuss all these items with my Dr.

Now I wait two weeks for the BMB results with an interim CBC at one week. Needless to say I am anxious to hear the news.

Thanks for your help, this is all such a learning process.

George
