March 22, 2009 11:55 PM 67 days to go

As I sit down to write today's entry, I'll share with you what I feel like everyday when I do this. To my way of thinking, it's somewhat like a radio personality who sits behind a microphone with no idea how many people are out there listening. I have no idea how many people follow this blog and no way of ascertaining that number.

Whatever the number may be, it won't change the fact that I fully intend to keep on doing the daily entries until the doctors tell me that I can return to my usual, boring life. However, it won't be very routine for me anymore as I will have a whole new perspective on eating out at a restaurant, going to the movies, attending church, etc. We take all that for granted until circumstances deprive us of those activities.

As usual, for me, today is just like any other day - I am still doing fine. I do enjoy the fact that I am now down to only 5 medications a day and that the days do seem to go by rather quickly. This is probably the only time in my life that I will ever wish my life away.

I have to admit that I am eager to get the results from Wednesday's bone marrow biopsy. Though I assume it will be OK, it will be nice to have a confirmed result.

A total change of subject, my wife and I just finished a very challenging jigsaw puzzle today but were very annoyed to find out that there was 1 piece missing. This is the second time in the last 3 puzzles that a piece has been missing. Why can't the puzzle makers institute better quality control? It does get disappointing to get to the end and have this hole in the completed puzzle. See, this is what life has come to for me - something like a missing puzzle piece takes on a level of importance that would never have existed before!

And so, another "non"-eventful day comes to a close...
