At least once or twice a day we take walks around the beautiful grounds. One other interesting tidbit is that I am supposed to be on a low bacteria diet, since I am still quite vulnerable to certain types of infections, some of which could be quite serious. Several people in the BMT ward were former BMT patients who had been released and then got pneumonia or some other infection. Anyway, this low bacteria diet seems to fly in the face of everything you ever learned about health. Salads are absolutely verboten.
Fresh vegetables have to be cooked to death.
Canned vegetables, on the other hand, are highly recommended. Fresh bakery goods are out. Most fresh fruit is also out, unless in has a thick peel. Well, that's life here in Hope Village. Despite the occasional trials and tribulations, everyone here tells me that I am doing quite well, relatively speaking.
