Oct 4th

Hi Everyone, it's Sunday evening. Jill and I were with her side of the family for a little reunion. Cousins, aunts and uncles came from La Habra and Santa Barbara. It was nice to see everyone again. As for Me: I had the eko cardiogram and on Friday evening I had a meeting with a social worker. After all the reports get back to my coordinator at UCLA then a letter goes to the insurance agency for approval of the procedure. No problems are expected. I'm guessing now that I may start the stem cell transplant on or about the 19th. I hope this will be a good date to get started. The stem cell transplant process takes from 4 to 8 weeks to recover. The first two weeks are driving back and forth the next 2 to 4 weeks are in the hospital then I have to stay in the area for 1 to 4 weeks after discharge just in case I need to go to emergency. This is my road to take in the near future. Steve
