So after my procedure with the stem cells. I hade a day off, a birthday party, and then brand new white pajamas were given to me for my stay in isolation
In here, masks are required by everyone. I have been on a lot of bedrest, since my energy level has gotten quite low. Unfortunately that also means that I have almost no core strength left, and my legs are almost gone. The initial high from having gotten control of my pelvic floor, has been diminished, as the abs are unable to maintain the support to help that out. It just means to me, that PT will be that more important when I get home. Given how much time I used to sit at home, I didn’t think there was much atrophy left. I can see that I was wrong now.
What’s also interesting is my hair is falling out. Not so much the hair on my head, although if you tug on that it doesn’t hold on very well. What I’ve been surprised with, is the hair in my nose, the hair in my beard, and even the hair down south. My eyelashes are still hanging on, which I’m told falls out multiple times during recover. So I have that to look forward to
Right now I’m just watching movies, and trying to relax. Some of my siblings in isolation in the other rooms, are not taking it so well, and getting serious cabin fever!
but I think we are all doing a good job of keeping the faith. I know it has worked, and take strength from everybody at home. Love you all
