Pre-Transplant Home Prep Checklist

For anyone bringing a loved one home from the hospital after a transplant, the home preparation one needs to do is somewhat overwhelming.  There is a lot to do, as the home must be spic 'n' span and free from anything that might sicken the patient with a compromised immune system.  When I first read in the handbook given to us by the transplant team regarding Paul's upcoming transplant, the amount of work and prep I would need to do, I was overwhelmed.  I work best with a checklist, and so created one.  Below is a free checklist template you can open in Google Docs and download and use to help with home prep.

Long Absence/Explanation/MDS/Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Hello! I have been away a long time.  A lot has happened in life since my last post a year and a half ago.  Paul and I spent a lot of time traveling in late 2018 through November of 2019.  Then there was work and grandson (who is 13 and 1/2!).  When we returned from our last trip in 2019 (a visit to Philadelphia to see our son and to tour Gettysburg, plus a Civil War ball), Paul was diagnosed first with severe anemia, and then cancer (MDS and non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma).  He is going in for a stem cell transplant in May which will hopefully lead to a cure, God willing.
I'm not sure if I will be able to blog much, but in a subsequent post I wanted to post a checklist for pre-transplant patients and caregivers. I also have been posting YouTube videos relating to Cancer Caregivers.  My channel is here: Celeste's Channel.
