    Sorry for the late update.  Since I got to go home, I have been feeling incredibly tired, weak, and experiencing a complete lack of appetite.  And, because I was not eating, I was getting weaker every day, that by Tuesday this weak I was a wreck, emotionally and physically.  Luckily, Minna came to rescue.  She called our friend Ruth to come around our house to feed me during the day, and Minna has been coming to see me in the evenings and would not let me off from eating.  It has been strange for me, as I normally LOVE food, but I have had zero appetite, and most things revolt me.  But, I HAVE to eat, otherwise I will never get any stronger.

    However, slowly, every day, I have eaten a little more with a slight improvement in appetite, and thus got a little stronger every day.

    They did warn about the lack of appetite and fatigue, but never guessed it would have been this hard!  But, like I said, I am getting better every day.

    The good news is, on Monday my blood counts were really good, almost within the normal range!  I am getting there.
