We started this morning at 9:40am being picked up by the van in front of the apartment. Got to the clinic and went over my medical records from the states. I then met with Dr. Ruiz, head hematologist, to go over the tests that were done Monday.  Everything was okay but my blood pressure (140/70), cholesterol (212), and blood sugar (112) was a little high. Lungs and breathing were great and so was my  I had guessed my disability on the EDSS chart was a 6.5 to 7 and I got that pretty darn close, they rated me a 6.5. So glad because 7.0 was the cut off for Mexico.

We started our chemo drip at 1:30 and got to head back to apartments at 6:40.  I wish I had known that they were going to leave the needle in my vein or I would have requested it in my right arm since I do everything with my left besides write. Oh well, live and learn. No shower in qthe morning!

Tomorrow will be my last trip to the clinic for a stronger dose of chemotherapy. Thursday they will come to the apartment to give me a shot every 12 hours (I think) for me to start producing an abundance of stem cells. It then starts again on Monday.

I have had to drink 2 liters of water and 625ml of electrolytes.  No sleeping tonight and I got my diaper on!  I just hope I don’t get nauseous or a headache.

If I get to graphic about things, skip those parts because this is my diary of events to have for many moons from now.

I am so proud to be in Group 1, everyone is so nice andhelpful. Uta (spelling) is our group leader.

Until I write again, I am signing off to finish my drinkin’!
