Out of Isolation

Today was an important day because isolation ended for me. I was in and out into the world of other humans – into the communal area outside of my door to meet with some of my other clinic friends. It was good to see Frank in person and see how he got on. It was just nice to be out, even though I strangely enjoyed being in isolation!

In this video, I also continue to look at the statistics of my haemoglobin, leucocytes and platelets. I also talk about the things that I can use again, such as a toothbrush and toothpaste and other simple things we take for granted in life.

Almost out of Iso; Hair Loss; More Stats!

So here I am almost out of isolation and things are progressing nicely. My stats are superstar stats and are following exactly did trajectory that the doctors were wanting. Dr Federenko was particularly happy with where my bloods and my leukocytes were. I couldn't have been happier with my physiological progress.

As well as speaking about stats, I get to show you what hair loss looks like, especially when cleaning your head in the way that you are supposed to. Get ready for another update!



Isolation day 7; Things to Bring to the Clinic!

One more day in isolation and you wouldn't think I'd have that much to talk about. Well, you wouldn't know me very well then… Here, I give you some more stats and information about isolation but then devote quite a lot of time to telling you useful things that you need to bring with you to the clinic. Hopefully, this is an interesting as well as informative video for you!




Isolation Day 6

Here we advance along to basics of isolation and I get to show you some charts and figures. Everyone likes to look at stats, right? I hear, I talk about all things isolation, including how I am physically and mentally feeling as runners the things I'm doing such as continuing to take my supplements, contacting my family back at home and all the usual things that you would expect people to do was stuck in isolation in a clinic.



Isolation

Isolation. That word. Those 10 days.

Hey, it's not that bad. You get to hang around the same four walls for 10 days but you get used to it. In fact, I quite enjoyed it. I had enough technology and enough things to keep me entertained. Isolation wasn't a problem. It whizzed past and before I knew it it was over. You get your nurses barging in and giving you injections and infusions and this and that. So that's all pretty normal. And you get to talk to your loved ones and family back at home on social media and Skype and whatnot. And you can even talk to your fellow isolationists and patients at the clinic through social media. So, really, it's not that bad.

Interview with Sarah about Isolation

Isolation is obviously a crucial part of the whole treatment process. It takes anywhere around 10 days and you have to stay within the four walls of your room without leaving it at all. People can deliver food and drink into your room if you make special requests by social media to friends on the outside. But these are specially cleaned down and given antibacterial wipeage so that they are safe to you to consume.

This is an interview that I can gave to Sarah who had been through isolation before us. We were interested in what she experienced and how she found it. Obviously, she is speaking from behind a face mask so you might need to turn the volume up for this one.
