Just an update to say that my counts this morning all went up, though only a little over last week's. Still, they're all my own - I haven't had a single transfusion since I was discharged over 3 weeks ago (as opposed to having 2 red & 2 platelets each week pre-transplant)!
Today they were:
WBC: 1.95
Hb: 9.7
Plt: 177
Neut: 1.59
And, on comparison, having the sedative for the BMB really didn't make much difference, except that there were so many nurses in the little room that my fiance wasn't allowed in
and I slept at the outpatients for 2 hours after it was over. They said the sedative was supposed to give me amnesia for the procedure itself, but I still remember everything. I'm going to have to decide soon whether it was worth it for my Day 56 BMB... :/
