It turns out that because of the way the stem cells were harvested, fresh from my mother's hip bone the day of the transplant instead of peripherally beforehand then frozen, engraftment may take more time. The new range given is 20-28 days. I have thus revised the optimistic calendar to reflect this new information.
You can see that today, Day +13, is still a full week away from any signs of improvement with my particular type of transplant. This isn't necessarily a bad thing because quick engraftments usually have problems associated with them. We want the graft to take place slowly with stability so that it has a better hold on my system in the long-run. I can't wait until I can post Flyleaf's Fully Alive, but it's not time yet. I'm still patiently waiting for my body to catch up with my state of mind...
In the meantime check out this great Dark Crystal footage used by Incubus in their video of "Oil and Water" and tell me it don't bring back awesome memories!
