Yesterday I did a short arm workout. Thats 2 days in a row since getting out of the hospital. Only had access to a ez-curl bar and a barbell but made the most of it and did about 10 sets for each exercise which was only 4 different ones. Probably taking today off might hit a light back workout deads and pull ups

First update in some time. I'm still at Hopkins, as there were complications after the transplant. I developed a blood clot which forced an emergency procedure. They stapled me up pretty good after that.

I've been bleeding a lot around incisions, but they expected that.

Over the next few days I was in a lot of pain and pretty mentally out if it.

Just as things were improving, bacteria from my stomach contaminated my blood causing an infection. This set us back more time. And made me feel shitty. At this point my wife and I are beside ourselves as we had no expectations like this. She is really taking hard though.

Then this week, week 3 rolls along and I begin to start feeling like the meds are doing their job and blood work and scans are coming back with more encouraging results!

So we shall see where this lands us.....

Thank you everyone! You been such a huge supporters!

You hang in there Atom. This wasn't going to be easy but you're a tough man and you'll get through one step at a time. Keep fighting and moving forward with patience. Its been a huge amount of stress and worry for you and your wife and family. Keep good people by your side for support. I promise better days are coming and you just keep positive thoughts flowing to feed your body with positive healing power. Keep thinking about that day when you can walk back into the gym with your girl, look at each other and smile.

Very happy you checked in. Much love to you brother.

I hit shoulders and traps today. Lighter weight and hi-reps was the ticket. Bought a Muscle Milk and chugged it down and hit the door feeling good.

Had good intentions to hit the gym and an hour before I was going to walk out the door, chemo fatigue hit. So, instead of dumbbell curls I was flat on my ass on the couch. I'm going tomorrow no matter what.
