A small hiccup on the way however, is the reactivation of a latent virus, cytomegalovirus (CMV), or a family of herpes virus responsible for mononucleosis. It 's a virus that we take almost all teens and remains latent in the blood so asymptomatic throughout life. Unfortunately, in people who undergo a transplant, a immunosuppression because they are subject, more often than the virus (which is by definition a aprofittatore) wakes up and attacks, they can generate serious problems.
attack therapy is the use of an antiviral called ganciclovir (Cymevene), and in these cases for 21 days administered through an IV twice a day. This means that from today will stand at least 21 more days (until October 7) in the hospital to complete this treatment. Whereas, however, we would stay until the end of next week, actually I should not "lose" more than a fortnight compared to the original plan.
The arrival in Genoa is roughly estimated at around mid-October rather than late September. Not bad, especially because aprofitterò anyway to continue the rehabilitation here by surprise, where there is a very good team of physical therapists.
Another small hitch is that I already got my first cold. Cough and phlegm, for now none of that, I just hope it does not want to degenerate into something like bronchitis, etc.. Again, better to be in hospital and at home. No problem, we take the loooong peacefully.
The mood is right, I'm sure! And then today he came to betray my dear friend John, exactly 15 days after transplant of me, inseparable companion waiting transplant Don Gnocchi. E 'in the hospital room next to me with a gentleman (he also transplanted) very nice of Liguria.
