Greetings one and all! Today is Thursday 30, Oct and I just finished drinking in two full units of blood. How apropos for the impending holiday. I guess you all can figure out what I'm going to be for all Hallows Eve? A survivor!!
Regarding surviving...the Staff is pleased with me progress as of late. I've put on weight, eating much better (taste buds are cooperating) and am drinking more.
As the last entry read I did have a bone marrow biopsy last week and a PET scan on Tuesday - both procedures came back with flying colors...or are the flying colors due to all the drugs? I kid, I kid. In other words all clear of any cancers or irregularities. Great news for sure. As I write this I have an appointment on Monday next for the usual lab draws and weekly x-ray and meet with my Doctor on Friday next to discuss going home. Not 90 days and not 100 days but somewhere in between. I'll believe it when I see it. I do look forward to getting back to the homestead and familia.
Well blog hounds it's presently raining outside (nothing too heavy yet) and we need to get to the store. Thanks again for caring and I look forward to seeing you all again soon. Until then...be well.

Side note: Lizanne (sp), Thanks for allowing me to be your "Stanford campus guide" last weekend and for the field trip into the SF to the exhibit at Golden Gate park...and of course Cribbage.

Curt, sounds like it's coming true! By the time you read this, I hope you're a hop, skip and a jump away from me in the 'hood! Blessings and strength, and we will try not to overwhelm you with welcome home parties, but knowing you, you're saying bring it on! It'll be great to have you back. Cheers, Judith
