Nuff Said

There’s an old saying that goes something like this: "Sometimes, you have to kiss a lot of toads, before you find your prince.” Now, this doesn’t apply directly to me, since A) I was never looking for a prince in the first place, although if you replace “prince” with “princess” I have already scored in that category, even though Jill is more like a queen than a princess; and B) my reason for bringing this whole topic up has nothing to do with princes or princesses, it has to do with leukemia and stem cell transplants and lab tests, and stuff like that. Still, there is some truth in that old saying that was engendered of fairy tales.  The following is not a fairy tale. When we last left our story, I had just had a Bone Marrow Biopsy (BMBx) and a nice long nap. Today, I received the second of two reports of the results of that BMBx. The first report came a couple of days ago. That report addressed something called Chimerism. " Chimerism  is a rare condition where a person or an...

Most of the dishes on the menu are quite unappetizing, but the medical team keeps telling me, "Eat, eat. Food is medicine." Following several disappointments from t...

Before 9AM

  “We do more before 9AM than most people do all day.”   (Click to view ad) I thought of that iconic line from a recruiting ad for the US Army, that aired back in the 1980s, this morning. Our neighbors, who snow-bird in Arizona every winter, are coming home today. These people have been so good to us since we moved into our current home six years ago. And we look for opportunities to do nice things for them.  Jill and I are usually out of bed by around 5AM, although this morning I slept in a bit. We spent time together this morning checking email, Jill writing letters to her brother and our daughters, as she does every morning, and I doing my morning crossword and a few other online games. We had a little breakfast, got dressed and then got busy.  We had planned to prepare a meal for Tom and Debbie, so they wouldn’t have to go grocery shopping before they could have dinner. Jill got busy making lasagna, while I prepared for a painting project we have planned for...
