Saturday - 26 January 2013
We had a good but tiring trip to Duke on Thursday. I met with several different specialist and finally the main bone marrow transplant doctor. I think I was evaluated for my physical stamina and mental stability. I passed the former one with flying colors but there were some close calls on the later. I have been accepted as a viable candidate for the bone marrow transplant, but first must spend 30 days for another round of chemo in order to reduce my leuk cells to 5%, Our doctor is confident. We do not know if I will spend the 30 days in Asheville or Durham but should know soon as it is supposed to start on 30 Jan.
Jane's kitchen remodeling is moving forward rapidly. All demolition is done and flooring, cabinets, counter top, sink, lights, garden window, etc. have either been ordered or delivered. It is a pretty big mess so I think I will get a room in Asheville or Durham for 30 days or so to get away.
I plan to visit with Cam, Scott, Laurel, and Clay Sunday and Monday in Cleveland, GA.

Good weekend to keep it between the ditches with all the ice and sleet. Keep us posted, Julia is working on a 30 day calendar for you to keep track of "stuff", at least we'll get to read more of your blogs next month! Love you!
ReplyDelete"Keep it between the ditches" originated in SW Spalding County on those wet, red clay Georgia county roads, right ??
ReplyDeleteHave been following your blog, and I am sure you are strong enough to beat this stuff. I'll get in touch and we'll make a visit to either Asheville or Durham some weekend when you are there.
Best wishes,
