Cycle 2 Day 5

Not long after the stem cells get put back into me, I still smell like tomato paste


*Katie explains the tomato paste comment - the preservative used for the freezing of the stem cells gives off a tomato paste/soup smell. Allen sucks on lemon while they are injecting the stem cells into him to distract from the smell. He can taste and smell it while they inject it. I can smell it for about 12 hours after.

the "day of rest"Cycle 2 ( Day 4 )

(Katie writing) I caught Allen in a relatively awake and lucid state when we took the video today. He is pretty miserable today and sleeping most of it away, which I guess means he is feeling less miserable while unconscious. The doctors call this day the day of rest... and he is doing just that.
