Wow!! It's December already! Hopefully, I get to enjoy it a little bit more than the month of November.

Finally connected with the doctor's office today. I go in for an 8:00 appointment on Wednesday at which time they will check my blood counts and do that bone marrow biopsy that they have threatened me with for the last week or so. I assume that the biopsy results will be the major determining factor as to how we proceed from here. Obviously, I'll let you all know what transpires at that time.

As for today, my wife had scheduled people to come in and steam clean all the rugs to make them as disease free as possible. This was originally scheduled with the thought that I would be coming home a little later this week. But, no matter what, with the future prospect of a bone marrow transplant the place should be as disease free as possible. So even though I jumped the gun this time, it's still an important part my overall recovery program.

Now that I am home and they are not pumping me up with fluids - the evening bathroom calls are far less frequent and I can finally get a good night's sleep. ZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!

Also looking forward to having a few friends stop in during the week as well.

Not much to say as I don't have daily contact with the doctors anymore. Thank God! But, as we all know, this journey still has a long way to go and I continue to need each of you at my side each step of the way.
