Well, half way through my stay here after transplant which is supposed to be 100 days. I do hope the next 50-days are a bit smoother than the last 10.

I am anticipating being discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Many moving parts, not the least of it is getting me home oxygen. That has been a bit of a circus today. Apria home health is the provider. The initial calls with them seemed hopeful. A large scale oxygen tank was delivered to my room to get me home, only to be discovered by my very astute nurse that the tank was empty. So off the delivery guy went to get a new tank.

At our apartment Sharon waited for a delivery that turned out to be a oxygen generator for me to use. All good except Sharon said it sounds like a freight train when it is in use. They also included 2 small “bottles” that I could walk around with as they are carried in a sling. These walk around bottles may give me 3-hours of oxygen and take 4-hours each to charge up. I continue to be amazed at how healthcare works and what is offered as treatment options.

Bottom line is that I need to recover and lose my need for oxygen supplements. I will work on that.

Otherwise the day was pretty uneventful. I take my meds, I took a walk around the halls today. Sharon prepared another delicious dinner. Tomorrow is our granddaughter Lila’s second birthday. I hope to be home so we can video with her and sing our happy birthday song. Next year it will be in person.
