For Non-myeloablative sibling transplants UC hospital discharges on day +1 if the patient is up to it. I spiked a fever on day 0 so they did a blood culture and found nothing. They have found almost anywhere other than a hospital has fewer germs for infection and patients sleep better. Plus there are no midnight and 4AM vitals. I go to the BMT clinic every day for 3 weeks for blood tests, see a RN and a PA and get the trifusion flushed. I see the doctor once a week. I am fortunate to be in an apartment at Brents Place which only takes transplant patients. It has an ultra clean environment and is less than a half a mile to the hospital. Not home, but many times more comfortable than the hospital.
