Last Saturday I was released from the hospital to start the routine days of blood tests and doctor's visits. Yesterday I worked in the afternoon and I hope to get several days in at the office this week before having to go back to the hospital for transfusions or into isolation.
Doctor Batezini is starting the neupogen shots earlier this time. That medication boosts white cell production, so I may not have to be isolated again or have all my fruits, vegetables and raw eggs locked away and kept under guard. Truth be told, I still haven't acquired a taste for raw egg shakes; I guess I'm just not up to the strength standards of Rocky.
I am at the point where I don't know what reality is any more. It's just weird to bounce back and forth between patient status and normal person status. It's just very nice at this point to look forward to a few days of being out and about and not having to drag around an IV pole with swinging bags of fluid.

What fantastic news I found when checking back into your blog. Your fighting spirit and sense of humor are paying off in spades! Boring you can deal with. I was able to hold my newest grandson (August 29) again over the weekend in Yoder and there's no better medicine for whatever ails one. I know this is a big part of what keeps you going and there aren't any better goals than spending time with those little ones!
Did you know that there has been actual research that recently revealed being grateful is a key component to a long and happy life? And you knew that without reading some science journal report!
