🌀Mood: Reflective. Disappointed. Patient. Grounded. Faith-filled.

Today is Day 30 of my stem cell transplant.

This is typically the day patients are discharged and sent home—so it’s a big milestone in this process.

For me, it looks a little different.

Last week, I had a setback related to my GI tract—side effects from the melphalan chemotherapy. It slowed things down and pushed my discharge date out. I won’t lie… I was really bummed.

Day 30 had become this mental marker for me. A finish line of sorts.
And when I realized I wouldn’t be crossing it the way I had hoped, it was hard.

But here’s the truth I’m learning in real time:

Day 30 is not a hard and fast rule.
Healing doesn’t follow a calendar.

What matters most is that my body is truly ready—so when I do leave, I stay home. No setbacks. No returns. Just forward progress.

So today still counts.

It’s still a milestone.
Just not in the way I originally imagined.

God isn’t bound by timelines… and neither is my healing.
