Temporary Redirect

Hi Guys and gals, due to technical difficulties I am temporarily redirecting traffic to my CaringBridge site

I get admitted on Thurday Aug 9th, I will get a variety of chemo’s and other drugs to counter the side effects as much as possible.  I will get my brothers cells on the 16th of August and from there it is just a matter of his cells settling into my bone marrow and making itself at home and taking over the production of marrow and blood products.  This journey is far from over as I am going to get really sick, before I get better.

On top of the whole “treatment” itself, the possible infections that can take advantage of my compromised immune system, and throw a wrench into the whole thing.

So I am ready to face this and get it over and done with and move on to what I hope is a long and healthy life.

to DT: thank you for todays title,,

Start your engines

Okay the big day is just a week away, I will be getting admitted on either the 8th or 9th of August, waiting to hear when they can fit me into the schedule for inserting the catheter that I need.

Brother dear will be coming out the week of the 13th and I will be getting my precious new cells on the 16th, which will officially mark my new Birthday,, yeaaaaaaaa!!!!

Stuart and I are trying to get things organized around here and get me packed up with jammies and accessories to keep me busy when I feel up to reading or watching a movie.  Though from what I understand the chemo this time around it going to be a bear and I am not going to be feeling to hot.

But the finish line is just around the corner, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  I just have to focus on getting strong and eating while in the hospital. So that they will let me out. No eat… no going home. (also no fevers, no throwing up, etc, etc)

I am taking my laptop with me and have arranged for dial up so I will try to post as we go along..

Hugs to all of my friends and family
