To start my stem cell transplant the first step is to do chemotherapy...This is the day. They call it day -1. Luckily Robert is not pouring a cooler of ice over me for this one, I just ingest a cooler of ice! It constricts the blood vessels to prevent mouth sores and GI problems. Since it usually takes me about an hour to drink 8oz., this will be very interesting, but luckily I have a very qualified coach, Robert can down 8 oz. in about 10 seconds! I chose well, didn't I?!
Started the ice callenge at 10:30. We brought ice from Sonic Drive in and added strawberry lemonade flavoring. Six pounds of ice later followed by a cup of hot chocolate and the challenge was over. Let's see Robert beat that.
Back to the hotel, our new home away from home, for a little decorating (nothing like some pictures of our amazing family) and then settled in for my first night.
I love the home decor! The pictures are fabulous. Thanks for sharing with us. Rachel was just asking about you yesterday, "can I text Sister Lyon?" I told her of course we could but with all I had going on I didn't get it done. She will love the blog. I'm glad you had that blanket to warm you on the outside. :-)
