May 21, 2009 10:45 PM 7 days to go

A few hold over items from yesterday...

I mentioned on Tuesday that I was expecting that we would not be at the clinic very long even though I was getting the catheter removed - and I was right! They did a great job of taking me fairly quickly after my doctor's appointment. We left the hospital at 10:15 and were home before noon. My wife fully expected a much longer time there but the procedure is a relatively quick one and they let me go after waiting 15 minutes instead of 20 at it's conclusion. They wish to make sure that there are no problems.

There was no mention of doing another bone marrow biopsy next week and I was most certainly not going to bring it up! I guess that my counts are so good that they feel that it's unnecessary at this point. I still have the one next February to look forward to - I can hardly wait.

Next, however, they are going to do a cholesterol and glucose check on me because the immuno-suppressants can screw those things up. This means that for the first time, I will have to fast before going to the clinic. No big deal - but I'll just have to remember it next Tuesday, that's all.
That's the last of the weekly appointments. From then on, it'll only be a meaningful update on the last Wednesday of the month. What I'll do for filler for the remainder of the days in the month, I'm not sure - but, I'll think of something.

Otherwise, a hot day(temperature in the 90's) but another quiet day. I still feel fine.

Had company for dinner which made it a very enjoyable meal.

Until tomorrow...
