Great News!

I forgot to mention the best thing about yesterday. I came home to a clean house! Linda came in and did a cleaning while I was gone. Hey! I should have big days more often!! Thank you, Linda!

We changed the bandage on the bone marrow biopsy site. It looks good. (But I am still a little traumatized. They used a Makita on me.)

I got the call I was waiting for this morning. Tomorrow I will get my line out. The "line" is a NeoStar 3 lumen catheter. It was necessary for the transplant, and very handy during recovery. They can take blood samples without sticking me each day, and they can easily (and quickly) administer saline, medicines, plateletes, blood, etc.

Last gross photo of the line:

See how it tunnels under the skin to the clavicle? It then it drops down in the chest cavity. GROSS!

On to nicer things to think about....

Curt and Darlene returned from their vacation.  We had a nice visit. They even brought me gifts. Very generous and appreciated.

Thank you, Curt and Darlene!

I have to get to bed early for my early appointment.  Buffy will take me in (thank you!), and Kent will pick me up after his trip. But there will be no sleep when these three are playing.

Last good thought of the day:
