Pre-transplant: Day 4
Subject: Stephen
Neupogen Injection Spot-Back of left arm
All symptoms remain constant just more severe. Primary location of bone discomfort/pain is
the pelvis, femurs, lower back, neck with minor discomfort occuring in the ribs. Flu-like symptoms persist, ranging from chills to hotflashes, hot head, general malaise, nausea. Took percocet at 3:30 and then again at 9:30.
This morning, I have moderate bone discomfort. Currently on my way to the hospital to receive the final injection and have my central line put in for Harvesting. Today they will skim my blood for my stem cells over the next 7-8 hours. I am interested to see how quickly I will begin to see relief from the symptoms of the Neupogen injection, which was administered over the course of four (five, including today) days at 1260 mcg.
Harvesting location: T-10 (Transplant - 10 days)
Do not be fooled... I have never seen another person in this corridor...
Final stop: Hanna House. Creepy as all hell. This is where I will be hooked up to the machine that will Harvest my Stem Cells. Harvesting will take place over 5-7 hours once I'm hooked up to the machine.
I can't help but feel at this point that I'm a subject in a Resident Evil game.
