This note is being done by someone under the stress of drugs. Max has told me to say that because it will have unusual comments.
Ahna does such a great job that this will surely be a dissapointment including typos. The main reason for this attempt is to thank you for the notes, cards, and phone calls. It really helps to keep the spirits up.
Currently I am taking 80 gallons of fluids a day IV as I don't like to drink water. It feels like 80 gallons....
Also taking drugs to start up another round of stem cell collection.. Looks like Friday. My other batch had some enemy cells in it.. Feeling really pretty good. Max, as Ahna has mentioned has been terrific trying to coral my less than perfect disposition. Don't know how I could be so lucky to have her....
Big meeting on Tuesday to lay out the transplant timeline so more to follow...Thanks again for all of your thoughts and prayers. Erik
Erik this blog. Stuff is tough even when not on drugs! I just spent thirty minutes making a great post and lost it because I didn't have a log in something or other. This one better work!
ReplyDeleteYour good spirits are inspiring, us Italians bitch and moan over a hang nail! ThevIrish are even worse! Hang in there and next year when my SSA conf is in Seattle we can make the great wester trip Max has always wanted to do.
Vicki and I think of you frequently, and send positive vibes your way. As you can see my typing sucks, almost as bad as my Pong!
We love you Man!

So you can teach an old dog new tricks! You have mastered the blogging world. What monster has been released?? You are right about being lucky to have Max... she's my surrogate sister so be good to her or you'll have me to answer to! Glad to hear the "hellish" part of your second round is over and your humor has returned. Follow Dr.'s orders we want to see in MN later this summer. Hang in there. Love you lots! DeeDee
ReplyDeleteLove this blog for updates :-)
Under the Boardwalk, out of the sun, under the Boardwalk, we'll be having some fun, under the Boardwalk, people walking above, under the Boardwalk, Boardwalk !!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay so now you have to reflect back to Catalina on a warm afternoon after rounding the island and dropping the hook at Emerald Bay with Max and a few others[ mmmm, R&R] for a little song and wine. We shall do it in a bay of your choice and you can pick the song. Thinking of you and sending good vibes. Hugs to Maxine, hope she got her screens returned!
