1 Down, 99 To Go

I got released from the hospital today. It's a good thing and I will get a good night's rest.

Until 5 am. That's when I get up to go to the clinic for a 7 am appointment. We have at least 30 days of daily visits, and it could be as much as 100 days. I know as I get better and stronger I won't have to go as often. Looking on the bright side!

But, my release comes with a string attached. I have brought home with me a portable pump that infuses a medicine called ProGraf into my central catheter line to assist with the stem cell transplant I received yesterday. (Thanks, Bro!) This pump rums 24/7 delighting me with its soft pump sounds. <<sarcasm.

My dogs were glad to see me. We had a little frisbee time, but it got chilly.

Today I had to say goodbye to my visitors. Mom and Dad left about 11 am and headed home. Ed and Marie visited for a while, too, then headed out. They will probably drive home early tomorrow. (But if Ed is anything like his Dad, he may try to leave today and drive all night!)

Our alter egos are in Tuscany having a great time.

Last bit of news is I think my hair is starting to grow back. There is a bit of a 5 o'clock shadow going on up there. Yes... Dark shadow.
