The snow certainly kept us in today. Then it turned to rain and now its back to snow. Who knows what mess we'll be looking at tomorrow morning when we get up?

Anyway, as expected, I heard nothing from Dana-Farber concerning last Friday's bone marrow biopsy. As I said before, I assume that tomorrow will be the day. Not to worry, I'll be here all day as I usually am so I won't miss the phone call.

Not much in the way of new developments. But it does appear that my hair is starting to return. I shaved about a week and a half ago and I now have to shave again. So instead of being 3 to 4 weeks between shaves its down to less than 2. So, slowly but surely, some sense of normalcy(normality?) is returning to my life. Now to have the hair on my head return and present me with the dilemma of keeping it as a buzz cut or letting it grow out to God knows what. I know that everyone is anxious to see what my hair will be like upon its return and, if I keep it as a buzz cut, they will be denied that privilege. I must admit that I am a little curious about it as well. It's possible that I could be depriving myself of the Gov. Blagojevich look should I decide to keep it short! Not an issue today - but most definitely one of the major issues that I will have to contend with in the future. Oh, what a sheltered life I lead!

Enough for today, hopefully we hear some news tomorrow.....

Regarding the hairdo, I don't think you are going to end up having the "first communion" boy haircut Dad. You don't want that. I am thinking that Dred Locks are right up your ally. When you hair gets long enough I will take you for extensions-you can sport the Britney Spears look for awhile.

Dear Bob, By chance I came by your blog today, and the reading has made me gone through all stages of emotions... I'm schedueled to giving some of my stem cells on Tuesday 11 February. I'm not your donor, since my receiver is "only" 61 yrs old ;) But thank you for sharing your experience with me. That has made me belive that I hopefully will make a difference. Good luck with your transplant! Love from a woman from a country far north :)
