Day + 82: Home Strech

All that lack of writing means one thing - that this is one of the more boring parts of the recovery process, when you have recovered everything except your stamina (and your hair), and you're just waiting for the body to build up to a level where you can manage going back to work and pulling a full-time schedule. Here's a tip: it's very important to constantly increase activity to prepare yourself for the rat-race, or you will fall on your ass once you start. You cannot lay around for a couple of months and be expected to all of a sudden function with full energy through a work day. It just won't happen.

Although this recovery seems like forever, it has been very good compared to after my first transplant, where I was out of work for nearly five months. I've been out of work this time for nearly three and considering coming back; so that's progress! I hope to return to work by the end of the month.

Talking about hair, I am trimming my goatee on a daily basis, but I'll be damned if I can get any hair to grow on the sides of my head. I've had better results with Chia Pets.

I had some friends come in from out of town this weekend, and I spent a lot of time walking around non-stop for hours on end. I was surprised that although I was very beat at the end of the day, I was able to endure without getting sick.
