Day +721 : Update on my two friends

I am fine today.

When I was admitted to the ward about two weeks ago, two friends came to visit me :-) I visited them when I went to see eye specialist on the 25th April.

One of them is Mr. Lim whom I mentioned quite a lot earlier. Today is about his Day +70 of post bone marrow transplant. When he met me, he talked a lot and also asked me a lot of questions.

He is experiencing GVHD on his digestive tract at the moment and is taking 40mg (8 tablets) of Prednisolon (steroid) every day in addition to other medication. The effect of taking the steroid is manifested through his “swelling” face – moon face :-)

I believe his is generally doing very well. He is already thinking of opening a husband-wife hawker stall selling noodles :-) I advised him better to seek advice from the doctor first before starting the business.

Mr. Lim’s “interesting” story can be found in the following blog entries.

Day +656 :Follow-up
Day +644 : Visiting Samuel
Day +601 : Finally, he found suitable bone marrow for transplant (2)
Day +600 : Finally, he found suitable bone marrow for transplant (1)
Day +209

The other friend who came to see me was Mr. Teh. It just happened that he came to do his follow-up when I informed him that I was admitted.

Due to lung infections and bone marrow problem, Mr. Teh was admitted to the hematology ward for 3 months continuously:-(

In the end, he found some excuses to “escape” from the ward and now is under Chinese traditional treatment. Seeing him discharged from the hospital is indeed a miracle!

I hope that his condition will continue to improve and I appreciate your prayer, but please continue to pray for him.

I list down all my blog entries that mentioned about him.
