Got out of bed for my morning visit today and OUCH! The bones are definitely talking. Rib bones, pelvic, breast and head all are feeling the expansion in the marrow. Think of it as just nasty flu-like aches but pretty much limited to the bones. Definitely moving slowly today. Tired of getting poked - between Friday, Saturday and today, I've been stuck 18 times in my tummy (they have to inject the growth factor in fatty tissue and I was able to supply plenty). Hopefully after the six shots tomorrow it will be the last day of those injections. On the good side, my white blood numbers have skyrocketed - literally! That's what we were hoping for. Plan for tomorrow is to try to collect the entire amount of stem cells. Could take up to six hours to complete the process. If not, I go back on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to keep collecting until I have enough.
