Today I turned 40 and I am my hopefully awaiting my new incredible life in my 40’s!
I got my dates today! It was the most amazing feeling to know that I have a start date, and I will be going through this amazing, life-changing experience!
Mobilization starts Jan 27
Harvesting Is Feb 6 (7th too if needed)
Then home to rest until…
Feb 16: (Day -6) admission as an inpatient
Feb 23: (Day 0 !!!) my stem cell infusion and start of my new life.
Thank you to everyone for your support, kindness, prayers, and well wishes. I couldn’t have done this without all of you!;
What an amazing 40th Birthday present!
I received a fantastic email today from my nurse at Northwestern! Medicare is paying for my treatment, and Northwestern sent me the new contract to sign, which I immediateky printed out, signed and faxed back.
Tomorrow I send in my Medicare payment deposit and…
Tomorrow I will likely have my official treatment start dates!
Tomorrow is my 40th Birthday!
17 is my lucky number…
And Tomorrow I will be the happiest woman in the world because I am moving one step closer
How exciting is it to think about that! I’m nervously organizing things in my house to make the transition from Mom and Dad being gone for 2-3 months in Chicago a little easier for my mother and mother-in-law. My dad is currently traveling to Poland because my Babcia is slowly passing. I would do anything to be there if I could, but I know she would want me to move forward and get this MonSter taken from me forever!
So many emotions in my head tonight. I am trying to go to sleep earlier and wake up earlier, to get into a more natural sleeping pattern, but it is so difficult with the daytime fatigue and the nighttime insomnia. I took my Ambien about 30 minutes ago and it feels as though it is working. Hopefully of to sleep I go to try to conquer another day of cleaning and organizing tomorrow.
