Its Saturday the 23rd. I'm doing very well working longer sleeping better and well on the road to recovery. Jill and I are going to the river next weekend for a little get away. Not sure if anybody else is going yet.

I think this will be the last blog for a while. Life is becoming normal so I don't have much to write about. Thanks for praying and helping me thru a difficult year. Love you

I had a good weekend. Jill and I drove to Fresno Saturday to celebrate Maria (oldest sisters) birthday. We to took my mom, sisters patty and chrissy and chrissy's two daughters megan and amy. I was able to attend the Fresno State basketball game with Tyler Maria's husband. Fresno beat Hawaii. It was nice to get out and enjoy the game. We came home Sunday evening. I also attended the annual meeting at Church at 6pm. It was a busy weekend. I'm trying to get off my oxycodone. I was taking 20mg twice a day. Today I'm at 0 for the day and 5mg at night. I have had a hard time with the 5mg at night. I get very anxious and cant sleep. pray my body does not crave this drug any longer.

It's been 6 week since my stem cell transplant. I'm feeling better and stronger everyday. I feel like I'm at about 50% strength of normal. I get tired about 2 pm and need a nap. i'm happy to be feeling as well as I do. All is well and I'm doing great.

I'm doing great! I worked monday thru friday half days. I'm getting stronger each day. I walked the dogs every other day this week. they need the exercise and I'm happy to get outside. work has been good and got a few orders processed this week. I'm hoping to get some big quotes turned into orders in January. Thanks for praying I'm doing great....

I came home on Wednesday. Finally in my own bed. Nice to be home and not having to be at the doctors all the time. I go again next wednesday. I'm feeling great and looking forward to getting stronger every day. I wear out quickly. I took the dogs on a short walk this morning. So far I took 3 naps today. Look forward to getting stronger

released from hospital

It's Monday night and we are in the hotel near UCLA. The doctors wanted us to stay near by just in case there are complication. I did throw up just as we were leaving the hospital. Still queasy and have a little headache. But all in all I'm doing great. My immune system is like a new born baby. I am getting stronger each day. But it takes a long time to get back to where I was. So pray that I start feeling normal and get stronger each day. Thanks for your prayers and support,

MOnday post transplant

It's monday. I made it thru the transplant no problems. I have been queasy and nauseated until this morning. the transplant took 27 minutes to thaw and infuse the stem cells. they were put back thru the IV line in my chest. I'm feeling better today and am hungry. Thanks for praying I needed it. I hope to be out of the hospital by early December.
