My leukemia's back.

The yo yo was because I figured a puzzle book right now would be frustrating, and if nothing else you can throw the yo yo at at someone..but only it it is attached to your finger, otherwise it is assault.

Do not give Rachel weapons!

Well, thank you all so much for the prayers and well wishes, but it's not today

Apparently the cells are being collected today, but they're coming from the East Coast and with shipping/transport time they won't get here until O-Dark-Something. They used to go ahead and transplant whenever the cells got here, but have moved away from that. For some reason, they've found a fully staffed, awake hospital makes for better outcomes than a sleepy resident in the middle of the night if something goes wrong. Go figure

So, 11:30 Thursday is the projected time. They pick late am cause it's a kind of down time for the staff, and they have a block where they're able to sit and monitor me. That's another thing...no one really wants vitals taken every 15 minutes at night! I'm a little disappointed about not getting cells today, but I can appreciate the night's sleep. Honey says it only puts me off by 1% in my hundred days, so he's not going to fuss too much either. So, kind of just a marker day, nothing special going on. There's a Supernatural marathon on TNT, that's about my big plans for the day!

Bunnylady--I love the pics! I used to drive by hay fields with those big line sprinklers, and they'd hit the barb wire fences and freeze into beautiful crystals, so lovely in the early morning sun!

Sounds like this plan is definitely for the best - even if it means another day. Hope today passes quickly for you and know that you will be surrounded by love and support tomorrow!

 

[Bunnylady]

Whaat??!

It's for target practice - to help fight the . . .the . . . boredom, that's it!

 

[sourland]

One more day of banking up prayers and well wishes.

Oh look what I found for you.

Maybe you are getting some good strong Yankee stem cells.

I knew coming here would make me feel better.

apparently my donor didn't have good IV access, so they couldn't collect enough cells today. He'll have a central line placed tomorrow, bless his heart, and transplant is pushed back to Friday. Medically it's all good, I'm very stable and things are fine, but I'm bored and not especially happy about hanging out another day. So, you folks are spot-on with the no weapons, etc. This would be a bad day to have them

 

[sourland]

Hey, Rachel, what can I say?

 

[N F C]

Morning Rachel, sorry for the delay. Hang in there just a little longer!

 

[sourland]

Rachel, put that yoyo away! Good morning.
