DAY +16

I'm at home folks. They released me already on Tuesday, 13th September (DAY +13 post-SCT. Really early!), but since I've been napping away the past few days, I haven't felt up to updating. In fact, I've been too tired to even open my laptop. The fatigue is quite overwhelming. Something I've never experienced before. Something that is hard to explain, since it goes beyond the feeling of being tired. I fall asleep anywhere, ignoring happily both place and time. Climbing up the staircases is a challenge. Let alone taking a shower and changing clothes. Eating is unappealing since everything tastes like cardboard and I still get nauseous from time to time.

But all in all, regardless of everything, and unafraid of sounding like a cliché, I just feel so grateful to be alive. I've survived the "we're going to have to kill you and then bring you back to life"-method of curing that is the stem cell transplant!
