Journal entry by Adrienne Sasko —
I am now at a “step down hotel” close to the hospital. I go back to the hospital every day for the first couple of weeks and then depending how I’m doing they’ll lessen my hospital visits.
It’s so good to be out of the hospital where I was for over 30 days! I sleep a lot now so if you’re messaging me and I don’t answer please know I’m just very weak and it will take a while to get back to you but it’s not intentional. This was the hardest thing I ever did in my life and I’m waiting to feel better. I promise I’ll get back to you eventually, it’s just taking time.
I take about 50 or more pills a day, for anti rejection reactions and bp issues. I also have costal chondritis from having high fevers and being all curled up in bed for days. They say it’ll go away eventually but it’s so painful I need it to go away now! I feel like I’d be so much better with the pain cleared up!!!!
I’m walking with a walker and am thankful to friends who have let me try their equipment before buying it! What a help that has been!!! Also thank you for all the cards and gifts! I can’t reach out individually to everyone right now, I’m sorry-I wish I could-but please know how appreciative I am!!! I just can’t put it
into words.
Of course I couldn’t do this without the love and support of my family and friends! Being brought to the brink of death and back again was/is a terrifying experience necessary to conquer leukemia, but with all the support I’ve received I feel like I can do anything! I’ll try to update more as I settle into my newly engrafted / transplanted life. Sorry if I’m rambling, but Thank you for everything! I love you all! Truly!!!!
