Your strength, humility and integrity help to ground and direct us all in our own lives.

Another sleepless night here in ol' 300...Dan -<br /><br />Another sleepless night here in ol' 300 E. Third, despite Ambien and thalidomide. Might have something to do with the man-purse of poison I've got slung over my shoulder 24/7. :)<br /><br />Good to hear that your spirits are high and that you are in the strength-building phase. I've put all that off until I'm finished with the initial bumps on the roller coaster since I've got involvement in 16 vertebrae and I'm uncertain as to how soon is too soon to do much other than walking, which as any good Angeleno will tell you is anathema. :)<br /><br />You and your family are never far from our thoughts and we miss the commiseration, but I'm glad you are finding psychological strength from being back home amongst friends. It was good to be back in LA for a few weeks, although I experienced reverse culture-shock...there were so many damn people!!! I couldn't believe how many people I had to weave in and out of at the grocery store!<br /><br />I feel your pain (literally) on all the bone marrows. I told my original hematologist in LA, to whom I went for labs while recuperating from the last transplant, that I'd had six bone marrows and if he'd had a drink in his hand we would have done a "spit take" worthy of a 1960s comedian. Oh well. I signed up for overkill on purpose and that's what I'm getting.<br /><br />I hope your marrow comes back with valuable information and resoundingly upbeat news, and that you continue to find strength, solace and recovery in Colorado.<br /><br />Love to you all,<br /><br />Nick and JillNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733312143898687572noreply@blogger.com
